Deadlines

Tell us something that is not covered in your application which you would like the Admissions Committee to know about you.

You will be asked to detail your post-MBA career plans and demonstrate how the programme will equip you with the skills to reach these goals.

Explain why you see this as particularly beneficial for you and how it fits with your career and personal development aims.

What improvements have you made in your candidacy since you last applied to the Oxford MBA?

You will be asked to answer three competency-based questions - this will be randomised.

Stage 1 has closed, and some scholarships are handed out stage by stage with no guarantee after the later ones. If funding matters, aim for Oct. 5 or Nov. 4. You get one application per academic year, so don't spend it on a rushed file.
The written load is light: one 500-word statement, a career plan section and three video answers. That shifts weight onto your CV and your two referees. Make the one-page CV show the career progression and international exposure Oxford says it looks for, and pick referees who can write from a work email.
There is no test waiver, for anyone. Oxford calls 595 on GMAT Focus or 160/160 on the GRE competitive. If you're below that, retesting is probably a better use of a month than polishing the statement.
Thinking about the 1+1? The MBA side is due Jan. 6, 2027, and the partner master's has its own deadline and requirements. Plan both applications together, since up to six Pershing Square scholarships cover both years in full.
