Increasing access

The University and colleges are doing more than ever to increase the number of promising postgraduate students from under-represented groups at Oxford.

Academic Futures

The University relies on bringing the very best minds from across the world together, whatever their race, gender, religion or background to create new ideas, insights and innovations to change the world for the better.

Up to 80 full Academic Future scholarships are available across 5 programme streams, with the awards made possible through the generous support of a number of partners, including colleges, departments, divisions and external donors.
