ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTMay 20212021|UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTPAGE 2Foreword For a university with such a strong sense of place,this past year has been a highly unusual one in Oxford,where streets so often teeming with students have largely been silent for long stretches of time.The students who remained,and those studying from home,have displayed exemplary resilience and commitment to their education.Students and staff alike have taken enormous pride in the work of our academics in developing vaccines and therapeutics as well as enhancing our understanding of COVID-19.It is no surprise then that our admissions numbers continue to rise as prospective students see the many contributions Oxford makes to society both nationally and globally.While the pandemic has,in many ways,changed the way we operate,it has not weakened our commitment to diversifying the make-up of our student body.In this,our fourth annual Admissions Report,we provide details of the success rate of British undergraduate applications by educational,regional,racial and socio-economic background as well as by subject and college.The highlights are as follows:over the past five years the proportion of students from state schools rose from 58%to 68.6%.The proportion identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic rose from 15.82%to 23.6%.The proportion from socio-economically disadvantaged areas rose from 8.2%to 15.9%.The proportion from areas of low progression to higher education rose from 11.4%to 15.6%.The proportion declaring a disability rose from 7.2%to 10.4%.The proportion of women rose from 48.6%to 54.2%.This reflects real progress and is a testament to the dedication of our Admissions Teams,the support of school teachers and,of course,the many talents of able and ambitious young people.We welcomed our first cohort of students under the new Opportunity Oxford Programme in the autumn and responded rapidly to the pandemic by putting our access and outreach activity online,creating Virtual Open Days and developing digital versions of our signature programmes like UNIQ.In December this year we conducted our admissions interviews remotely for the first time.Notwithstanding all the adjustments and adaptations required by the pandemic we remain committed to ensuring that every talented,academically driven pupil in the country,wherever they come from,sees Oxford as a place for them.Professor Louise RichardsonVice-ChancellorContents page 4 Section 1.Overall numbers,including domicile page 7 Section 2.Nation and

processpage 39 Note on HESA dataUNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2021PAGE 3About this report This report presents undergraduate admissions statistics for the University of Oxford over five admissions years between 2016 and 2020,broken down into chapters covering the following areas:overall numbers,domicile,nation and region,disadvantage,school type,gender,ethnicity and disability.The report includes information for Oxfords colleges and largest courses,aggregated for the three admissions years 2018 to 2020.Aggregation has been used as small yearly figures are likely to provide a misleading picture.Nonetheless,some figures remain so small that a handful of decisions can appear to create large swings which have limited statistical value.This health warning applies even more strongly to single-year statistics for colleges and courses.The full data are available to view online:ox.ac.uk/adstats.The report also provides some national context for Oxfords data,primarily based on figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency(HESA).This includes information on the numbers of students achieving Oxfords minimum standard offer:three A grades or better at A-level and equivalent Scottish qualifications.It also compares Oxfords data with the higher education sector as a whole and with the Russell Group of leading universities.A summary of Oxfords admissions process can be found on page 38.Key points Following extended school closures in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic,A-levels and other qualifications around the world were awarded using a range of methods including centre-assessed grades in place of the usual examinations.3,695 students were admitted to Oxford,around 400 more than usual.Almost four fifths of those places(2,950)went to students living in the UK.Between 2016 and 2020,within the total group of UK-domiciled undergraduates admitted:The proportion from state schools rose from 58.0%1 to 68.6%.The proportion identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic(BME)rose from 15.8%2 to 23.6%.The proportion from socio-economically disadvantaged areas rose from 8.2%to 15.9%.The proportion from areas of low progression to higher education rose from 11.4%to 15.6%.The proportion declaring a disability rose from 7.2%to 10.4%.The proportion of women rose from 48.6%to 54.2%.FOOTNOTE1.Percentages in this report have been rounded to one decimal place.2.Some figures are slightly different from those presented in previous editions of this report following data corrections.2021|UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL

NUMBERS The number of students admitted in 2020 was higher than usual following the exceptional arrangements for awarding A-levels and other qualifications during the COVID-19 pandemic.Overall application numbers have risen annually,and by 22.2%since 2016.Table 1.1:Overall applications to Oxford,offers made and students admitted,all domiciles,20162020APPLICATIONSOFFERSSTUDENTS ADMITTED2020

non-EU students have risen,and applications from EU students have fallen.UK-domiciled applicants are substantially more likely to receive an offer of a place to study at Oxford than students from outside the UK.The proportion of students admitted who are from the UK has risen to 79.8%.Oxford does not operate quotas or targets around the nationality or domicile of students admitted to the University.The exception is Medicine,which is subject to a government restriction on the number of students with international fee status who can be admitted each year.The highest number of overseas applications and admitted students was from the Peoples Republic of ChinaTable 1.3:Overall applications to Oxford,offers made and students admitted by area of domicile,20162020UK

are admitted.The figures relate to differing levels of socio-economic advantage and progression to higher education across the UK,and are derived from the ACORN and POLAR5 demographic systems.ACORN is a postcode-based tool that categorises the UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.POLAR is a similar tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.The ACORN and POLAR systems are widely recognised measures used by the regulator to set admissions targets for universities including Oxford.These systems are explained in more detail in the glossary to this report.UNIVERSITY-LEVEL DATAThe tables below show the number of applications,offers and students admitted from the two most socio-economically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56)and the two groups of young people least likely to progress to higher education(POLAR quintiles 1 and 2).In 2020,15.9%of UK students admitted to Oxford came from the two most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56).This is an increase of 7.7 percentage points from 2016.Table 3.1:Socio-economic disadvantage:UK applications to Oxford,offers

this report include figures for 29 of Oxfords undergraduate-admitting colleges,aggregated from 2018 to 2020.Note:Oxfords colleges vary in size and subject provision,admitting between around 50 and 120 UK-domiciled students each year.Permanent Private Halls(which have a different status to colleges and generally admit small numbers of students for a limited range of courses)and Harris Manchester College(which admits only mature students)have been excluded.Application numbers to individual colleges vary year on year,as does the prior academic achievement of those applicants,which can lead to fluctuations in admissions figures between colleges and among particular groups of students.Applicants to a particular college may be reallocated and eventually admitted to another college as part of Oxfords admissions process.An explanation of this system appears on page 38.Socio-economic disadvantage From 2018 to 2020,the proportion of admitted students from less advantaged areas(ACORN

to Oxford.5.2%of UK-domiciled applicants(2,139 students between 2018 and 2020)choose not to declare their ethnicity in their UCAS application.It is therefore not possible to make any statements in relation to their ethnicity and admissions status,and for that reason they have not been included in the tables below.UK-domiciled Black and Minority Ethnic(BME)students include those who indicate in their UCAS application that they identify as Black(including African,Caribbean and other Black background),Asian(including Bangladeshi,Indian,Pakistani,Chinese and other Asian background),Mixed Heritage(including White&Asian,White&Black African,White&Black Caribbean and other Mixed background),Arab or any other ethnicity except White.CONTEXTThe following graphics provide context for Oxfords figures,showing the BME share of the England and Wales population,the A-level achievement of BME students,and the proportion of BME students in different parts of the UK university sector.Note:Figures for the 2018/19 academic year(2018 intake)are the most recent available from HESA and have therefore been used in these graphics.The most recent figures available for Oxford are for the 2020/21

for full citation.UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2021PAGE 35Glossary ACORNACORN is a postcode-based tool that categorises the UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.ACORN uses a range of data such as accommodation type,household income,population density and lifestyle habits to produce estimates of the characteristics of each individual household and postcode.Category 4 is described as financially stretched;category 5 as urban adversity.Both groups are characterised by lower-than-average household incomes.ACORN categories 4 and 5 represent around 12.5%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities*.AdmittedStudents admitted refers to students who have been made an offer of a place at Oxford,met any conditions of that offer,and indicated that they intend to take up their place.ApplicationsApplications refers to students who submit a UCAS application by the 15 October deadline for an undergraduate course at Oxford.Applications by collegeIn tables that feature application numbers by college,the figures include those applicants who indicated a college of preference on their application,and anyone who made an open application who was then allocated to that college.Applicants considered by one college may still receive an offer from another college.CollegesOxford University is made up of over 30 colleges and halls.It is these colleges that admit undergraduate students to the University.All colleges have signed up to a Common Framework for Admissions which means the same application process for each course at every college.The colleges work together during the admissions process to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.Most colleges offer most courses but the exact mix and the number of places on each course does vary between colleges.For more information about colleges,please see ox.ac.uk/ugcolls.CoursesCourses refers to Oxfords undergraduate degree programmes.Students apply for these courses through UCAS.Some of these courses are in single subjects(eg History or Geography),while others are joint courses combining two or more subjects(eg Mathematics and Computer Science).Most courses are three or four years long and lead to a BA Honours degree or a Masters degree(eg MEarthSci or MMath).For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/courses.DisabilityData in this report refer to disabilities that students have declared on their UCAS application.Students may also declare disabilities at later stages of the application process,or at any point during their course.For more information about the support available to disabled students,please see ox.ac.uk/disability.*First-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students,academic year 2018/19.Includes equivalent Scottish qualifications.See page 39 for full citation.2021|UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTPAGE 36DisadvantageOxford uses various measures of disadvantage when considering applications,from various sources of available data.The main measures are:Educational disadvantage,which looks at the average performance of schools at GCSE and A-level.Socio-economic disadvantage,which looks at ACORN and POLAR data for the applicants home postcode.Oxford is also aware of students who have been in care,based on information provided in the UCAS application.For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/context.DomicileA students domicile refers to their country of permanent residence,as provided on their UCAS application.This is not necessarily their nationality,but it is the country where they usually live.For example,UK-domiciled students includes students with non-British nationality who are permanently resident in the UK(not just here for the purposes of education).It does not include UK students who live permanently outside the UK.EthnicityEthnicity refers to the ethnic origin of UK students,as declared on the UCAS application.Our data includes only those applicants who have indicated their ethnicity,so it does not include those who choose not to say(5.2%of applicants in the three years 2018-2020).Ethnicity data is not available to universities during the admissions process:UCAS shares this data after all the admissions decisions have been made.Gender This report uses the binary female/male options from the UCAS application,which may not reflect the gender identity of all applicants.The University welcomes students who wish to take,or have taken,steps to change the gender identity they were assigned at birth,and those who do not identify with a permanent binary gender identity.For more information,please see https:/edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/transgender.OffersApplications to Oxford are all considered together,and then shortlisted applicants are invited to interview.Around a third of those who are interviewed are then made an offer of a place.Most offers have conditions attached,such as achieving a particular set of grades at A-level,as specified for an applicants chosen course.Offers in this report includes all those students who receive an offer.The number of offers for any particular college may be higher than their application numbers as students may be moved between colleges during the application process.This is to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.Open applicationApplicants can indicate a college of preference when they complete their UCAS application or they can make an open application.Open applicants are then allocated to a college.After this allocation,colleges review all their applications in exactly the same way:they make no distinction between direct and open applicants.UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2021PAGE 37POLARPOLAR is a postcode-based tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.POLAR quintiles are calculated by dividing the number of young people in local areas who enter higher education aged 18 or 19 by the overall young population in those areas.POLAR quintiles 1 and 2 represent 14.4%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities.*The POLAR classification is continuously developed and updated.2020 data in this report are from POLAR4.Previous years data are from POLAR3.School typeData on school type use the standard UCAS school type categories,as declared by schools and colleges.These school types are grouped as follows:SCHOOL GROUPSCHOOL SUB-GROUPNOTESStateAcademyComprehensiveFE institutionsTertiary colleges and all types of further education collegeGrammarSixth form collegeIndependentIndependentOther secondary schools,special schools and city technology colleges.OtherIndividual/UnknownThose applicants who applied online through UCAS without applying via a UCAS apply base(usually their school or college),or those where their apply bases school type is unknown Other UK institutionsMainly comprises language schools and HE institutions,but also includes a few other UK institutions that are not classified as either state or independentOverseas schoolsUCAS cycleWhen tables or text in this report refer to an individual year,that year relates to a UCAS cycle.For example,data labelled 2020 refers to the UCAS cycle in which applications to Oxford were made by 15 October 2019,mostly for entry in October 2020(a minority of applicants in this cycle will have deferred entry to October 2021).*First-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students,academic year 2018/19.Includes equivalent Scottish qualifications.See page 39 for full citation.2021|UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTPAGE 38Guide to the Oxford admissions process Candidates apply to Oxford through UCAS.The Oxford deadline is 15 October.As part of their application,students can specify a college,but nearly a fifth of candidates make an open application.Open applications are automatically allocated to a college with a lower number of direct applicants for the course,ensuring that candidates are distributed as equally as possible.Typically,Oxford aims to interview three candidates for every place.Shortlisting for interview is done to a centrally agreed set of criteria for each course and takes into account all the information from the UCAS form,including any factors that might provide context to past or predicted grades.During shortlisting,many courses reallocate candidates from one college to another.This ensures that the best candidates University-wide are selected for interview by an Oxford college,even if it is not the college to which they originally applied.Shortlisted candidates are interviewed in early December by the college to which they applied,or the one to which they were reallocated.Some courses,for example Medicine,only consider college preferences once the shortlisted candidates have been chosen.Candidates interview performance adds to the information already gathered,and decisions are then made as to who should receive an offer.Again,this is discussed at course level to ensure the overall best candidates are selected.As a result of open applications and reallocations,around a third of successful candidates get an offer from a college they didnt initially select.Offers go out to candidates in January.The number of offers exceeds the number of places available,to allow for candidates who decline their offer,withdraw,or fail to meet their offer conditions.Competition for places is high for all Oxford undergraduate courses,but some courses have many more applicants per available place than others.This is one reason why offer and admission rates vary noticeably between courses.Success rates are also influenced by the fixed number of undergraduates admitted annually by each college,and by the courses offered at any given college.As some colleges receive far more direct applications than others,the reallocation process described above is used to move candidates between colleges and ensure fair chances regardless of where candidates originally applied.Further information on this process and how to apply is available at www.ox.ac.uk/study.UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2021PAGE 39Note on HESA data DataThe data presented in Section 1(Overall numbers,including domicile)have been restricted

ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTMay 2023UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023ForewordIn this,our sixth Annual Admissions Report,and my first as Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University,we provide details of the success rate of UK undergraduate applicants by education,region,ethnicity and socio-economic background,as well as by course and college.It is encouraging to see that steady progress continues to be made to ensure that those with the highest academic potential,from all backgrounds,can realise their aspirations to study here despite admissions continuing to be increasingly competitive.3,271 students were admitted in 2022,of which 79.4%were from the UK,3.8%from the EU,and 16.8%from other countries.UK-domiciled applicants remain substantially more likely to receive an offer of a place to study at Oxford than students from outside the UK.Since we first published this Report,students from a wider range of backgrounds than ever have joined the University.In 2022,22.9%of UK undergraduates admitted to Oxford came from the least advantaged backgrounds(up from 13.3%in 2018),including talented students from areas of social and economic disadvantage and from areas of low progression to higher education;7.3%were eligible for Free School Meals.More than one quarter of UK undergraduate students admitted in 2022 identified as Black and Minority Ethnic(BME).This year we have supported UK undergraduates who continue to feel the impact of the pandemic on their education and wellbeing,including through our academic bridging programme,Opportunity Oxford.In 2022,this provided 188 students from the least advantaged socio-economic backgrounds with support to realise the best possible start to their academic studies.We have also made the first offers to 35 UK state school students for the Astrophoria Foundation Year,which will get underway in 2023.A fully funded,supportive and academically challenging one-year course,the Foundation Year is open to students who have experienced disadvantage or disruption during their education.Our students reflect the UKs diversity in many respects,and we want to maintain long-term progress in this area.To support this ambition,we will continue to innovate and to build on the success of our existing outreach initiatives to increase our engagement with people across the UK and support,inspire,and motivate bright students to realise their academic potential and aspirations,and we hope to foster a love of learning and consider Oxford as a place truly for them.Professor Irene

STATISTICAL REPORT|2023About this report This report presents undergraduate admissions statistics for the University of Oxford over five admissions years between 2018 and 2022,broken down into chapters covering the following areas:overall numbers,domicile,nation and region,disadvantage,school type,gender,ethnicity and disability.The report includes information for Oxfords colleges and largest courses,aggregated for the three admissions years 2020 to 2022.Aggregation has been used as small yearly figures are likely to provide a misleading picture.Nonetheless,some figures remain so small that a handful of decisions can appear to create large swings which have limited statistical value.This health warning applies even more strongly to single-year statistics for colleges and courses.The full data are available to view online:ox.ac.uk/adstats.The report also provides some national context for Oxfords data,primarily based on figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency(HESA).This includes information on the numbers of students achieving Oxfords minimum standard offer:three A grades or better at A-level and equivalent Scottish qualifications.It also compares Oxfords data with the higher education sector as a whole and with the Russell Group of leading universities.A summary of Oxfords admissions process can be found on page 38.Key points The number of students admitted in 2022 remained at the usual level,at 3,271.Approximately four fifths of those places(2,596)went to students living in the UK.Between 2018 and 2022,within the total group of UK-domiciled undergraduates admitted:The proportion from state schools rose from 60.5 to 68.1%.The proportion identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic(BME)rose from 18.3%2 to 27.8%.The proportion identifying as Asian rose from 8.3%to 13.9%.The proportion from socio-economically disadvantaged areas rose from 11.3%to 15.5%.The proportion from areas of low progression to higher education rose from 13.1%to 16.6%.The proportion declaring a disability rose from 9.3%to 12.8%.The proportion of women rose from 51.2%to 53.1%.1 Percentages in this report have been rounded to one decimal place.2 Some figures are slightly different from those presented in previous editions of this report following data corrections.PAGE 3UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|20231.Overall numbers,including domicile This section presents information on Oxfords overall numbers,as well as the domicile of Oxfords applicants,offer holders and admitted students.OVERALL NUMBERS The number of students admitted in 2022 was 3,271,in line with pre-pandemic levels.The number of applications dropped slightly in 2022,though remain above pre-pandemic levels.Applications have increased by over

4UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023BREAKDOWN BY DOMICILE Since 2018,applications from UK students and non-EU students have risen,and applications from EU students have fallen.UK-domiciled applicants are substantially more likely to receive an offer of a place to study at Oxford than students from outside the UK.Since 2018,the proportion of students admitted who are from the UK has risen to 79.4%from 77.6%,whilst the proportion from non-EU countries has increased to 16.8%from 14.1%.The proportion of students who applied from the EU fell to 7.5%in 2022 from 12.5%in 2018.Oxford does not operate quotas or targets around the nationality or domicile of students admitted to the University.The exception is Medicine,which is subject to a government restriction on the number of students with international fee status who can be admitted each year.The highest number of overseas applications and admitted students was from the Peoples Republic of China.Table

offers,and are admitted.The figures relate to differing levels of socio-economic advantage and progression to higher education across the UK,and are derived from the ACORN and POLAR5 demographic systems.This year information on Free Schools Meals has also been included.ACORN is a postcode-based tool that categorises the UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.POLAR is a similar tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.The ACORN and POLAR systems are widely recognised measures used by the regulator to set admissions targets for universities including Oxford.Free school meal(FSM)s eligibility is a measure of household income,widely used in social policy research as an individual indicator of potential disadvantage.Verified information regarding the FSM eligibility of Oxford applicants for 2021 and 2022 cycles is provided by UCAS.These systems are explained in more detail in the glossary to this report.UNIVERSITY-LEVEL DATAThe tables below show the number of applications,offers and students admitted from the two most socio-economically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56)and the two groups of young people least likely to progress to higher education(POLAR quintiles 1 and 2).In 2022,15.5%of UK students admitted to Oxford came from the two most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56).This is an increase of 4.2 percentage points from 2018.Table 3.1:Socio-economic disadvantage:UK applications to Oxford,offers made and students admitted from ACORN

UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.ACORN uses a range of data such as accommodation type,household income,population density and lifestyle habits to produce estimates of the characteristics of each individual household and postcode.Category 4 is described as financially stretched;category 5 as urban adversity.Both groups are characterised by lower-than-average household incomes.ACORN categories 4 and 5 represent 15.7%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities*.AdmittedStudents admitted refers to students who have been made an offer of a place at Oxford,met any conditions of that offer,and indicated that they intend to take up their place.ApplicationsApplications refers to students who submit a UCAS application by the 15 October deadline for an undergraduate course at Oxford.Applications by collegeIn tables that feature application numbers by college,the figures include those applicants who indicated a college of preference on their application,and anyone who made an open application who was then allocated to that college.Applicants considered by one college may still receive an offer from another college.CollegesOxford University is made up of over 30 colleges and halls.It is these colleges that admit undergraduate students to the University.All colleges have signed up to a Common Framework for Admissions which means the same application process for each course at every college.The colleges work together during the admissions process to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.Most colleges offer most courses but the exact mix and the number of places on each course does vary between colleges.For more information about colleges,please see ox.ac.uk/ugcolls.CoursesCourses refers to Oxfords undergraduate degree programmes.Students apply for these courses through UCAS.Some of these courses are in single subjects(eg History or Geography),while others are joint courses combining two or more subjects(eg Mathematics and Computer Science).Most courses are three or four years long and lead to a BA Honours degree or a Masters degree(eg MEarthSci or MMath).For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/courses.DisabilityData in this report refer to disabilities that students have declared on their UCAS application.Students may also declare disabilities at later stages of the application process,or at any point during their course.For more information about the support available to disabled students,please see ox.ac.uk/disability.*First-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students,academic year 2020/21.Includes equivalent Scottish qualifications.See page 39 for full citation.PAGE 35UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023DisadvantageOxford uses various measures of disadvantage when considering applications,from various sources of available data.The main measures are:Educational disadvantage,which looks at the average performance of schools at GCSE and A-level.Socio-economic disadvantage,which looks at ACORN and POLAR data for the applicants home postcode.Oxford is also aware of students who have been in care,based on information provided in the UCAS application.For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/context.DomicileA students domicile refers to their country of permanent residence,as provided on their UCAS application.This is not necessarily their nationality,but it is the country where they usually live.For example,UK-domiciled students includes students with non-British nationality who are permanently resident in the UK(not just here for the purposes of education).It does not include UK students who live permanently outside the UK.EthnicityEthnicity refers to the ethnic origin of UK students,as declared on the UCAS application.Our data includes only those applicants who have indicated their ethnicity,so it does not include those who choose not to say(5%of applicants in the three years 202022).Ethnicity data is not available to universities during the admissions process:UCAS shares this data after all the admissions decisions have been made.Free School MealsFree school meals(FSM)eligibility is a measure of household income widely used in social policy research as an individual indicator of potential disadvantage.FSM data is collected through UCASs Modernized Contextual Data Service for English 18 and 19 year olds(as determined on 31 August of application cycle)using the National Pupil Database,and indicates whether or not the applicant is known to have been eligible for Free School Meals at any time in the 6 years prior to the census day of their final KS4 year.Verified information regarding the FSM eligibility of Oxford applicants for 2021 and 2022 cycles is provided by UCAS.We hope to include information on the proportions of FSM-eligible high achieving students who apply to all UK universities,when this becomes available.We already include similar benchmarks for our ACORN and POLAR admissions statistics.Gender This report uses the binary female/male options from the UCAS application,which may not reflect the gender identity of all applicants.The University welcomes students who wish to take,or have taken,steps to change the gender identity they were assigned at birth,and those who do not identify with a permanent binary gender identity.For more information,please see https:/edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/transgender.PAGE 36UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023OffersApplications to Oxford are all considered together,and then shortlisted applicants are invited to interview.Around a third of those who are interviewed are then made an offer of a place.Most offers have conditions attached,such as achieving a particular set of grades at A-level,as specified for an applicants chosen course.Offers in this report includes all those students who receive an offer.The number of offers for any particular college may be higher than their application numbers as students may be moved between colleges during the application process.This is to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.Open applicationApplicants can indicate a college of preference when they complete their UCAS application or they can make an open application.Open applicants are then allocated to a college.After this allocation,colleges review all their applications in exactly the same way:they make no distinction between direct and open applicants.POLARPOLAR is a postcode-based tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.POLAR quintiles are calculated by dividing the number of young people in local areas who enter higher education aged 18 or 19 by the overall young population in those areas.POLAR quintiles 1 and 2 represent 16.6%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities.The POLAR classification is continuously developed and updated.2020-22 data in this report are from POLAR4.Previous years data are from POLAR3.School typeData on school type use the standard UCAS school type categories,as declared by schools and colleges.These school types are grouped as follows:School groupSchool sub-groupNotesStateAcademyComprehensiveFE institutionsTertiary colleges and all types of further education collegeGrammarSixth form collegeOther maintainedOther secondary schools,special schools and city technology collegesIndependentIndependentOtherIndividual/UnknownThose applicants who applied online through UCAS without applying via a UCAS apply base(usually their school or college),or those where their apply bases school type is unknownOther UK institutionsMainly comprises language schools and HE institutions,but also includes a few other UK institutions that are not classified as either state or independentOverseas schoolsUCAS cycleWhen tables or text in this report refer to an individual year,that year relates to a UCAS cycle.For example,data labelled 2022 refers to the UCAS cycle in which applications to Oxford were made by 15 October 2021,mostly for entry in October 2022(a minority of applicants in this cycle will have deferred entry to October 2023).PAGE 37UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023Guide to the Oxford admissions process Candidates apply to Oxford through UCAS.The Oxford deadline is 15 October,except where this falls on a weekend.In 2023 the deadline will be 16 October.As part of their application,students can specify a college,but nearly a fifth of candidates make an open application.Open applications are automatically allocated to a college with a lower number of direct applicants for the course,ensuring that candidates are distributed as equally as possible.Typically,Oxford aims to interview three candidates for every place.Shortlisting for interview is done to a centrally agreed set of criteria for each course and takes into account all the information from the UCAS form,including any factors that might provide context to past or predicted grades.During shortlisting,many courses reallocate candidates from one college to another.This ensures that the best candidates University-wide are selected for interview by an Oxford college,even if it is not the college to which they originally applied.Shortlisted candidates are interviewed in early December by the college to which they applied,or the one to which they were reallocated.Some courses,for example Medicine,only consider college preferences once the shortlisted candidates have been chosen.Candidates interview performance adds to the information already gathered,and decisions are then made as to who should receive an offer.Again,this is discussed at course level to ensure the overall best candidates are selected.As a result of open applications and reallocations,around a third of successful candidates get an offer from a college they didnt initially select.Offers go out to candidates in January.The number of offers exceeds the number of places available,to allow for candidates who decline their offer,withdraw,or fail to meet their offer conditions.Competition for places is high for all Oxford undergraduate courses,but some courses have many more applicants per available place than others.This is one reason why offer and admission rates vary noticeably between courses.Success rates are also influenced by the fixed number of undergraduates admitted annually by each college,and by the courses offered at any given college.As some colleges receive far more direct applications than others,the reallocation process described above is used to move candidates between colleges and ensure fair chances regardless of where candidates originally applied.Further information on this process and how to apply is available at www.ox.ac.uk/study.PAGE 38UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2023Note on HESA data DataThe data presented in Section 1(Overall numbers,including domicile)have been restricted to all first-year,first-degree undergraduate students in academic year 2020/21 in the UK.In all other sections,the data comprise all first-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students in academic year 2020/21 in the UK.NB:This includes students domiciled in Guernsey,Jersey and Isle of Man.The AAA A-level pool comprises students who achieved at least AAA at GCE/VCE A-level(excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking),or at least AA at Scottish Advanced Higher and at least AAAAB at Scottish Higher.Students with equivalent qualifications,eg equivalent in IB points,are removed from this pool.When the AAA A-level pool is broken down into its constituent categories(A*AA,A*A*A,A*A*A*),candidates obtaining at least AA at Scottish Advanced Higher and at least AAAAB at Scottish Higher are included in every category.ACORN categories 4 and 5 presented here do not include Type 34(Student flats and halls of residence),which falls within category 4.This type is included within the remaining ACORN categories.The information available for school type is:state school,other school,unknown.It is assumed that other school comprises predominantly independent schools.The data provided for gender records the sex of the student,as opposed to the gender with which they identify.Other is included for students whose sex aligns with terms such as intersex,androgyne,intergender,ambigender,gender fluid,polygender and gender queer.Further details are

ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORTMay 2022UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2022ForewordThis year Oxford has continued to maintain its position as the top ranked University in the world in the Times Higher Education Global Ranking.Partly as a consequence,competition for places remains intense.Applications have risen by 22%in the past five years.In this,our fifth Annual Admissions Report,we provide details of the success rate of UK undergraduate applicants by education,region,race and socio-economic background,as well as by course and college.We do so in an effort to track our progress and to be transparent about our practices.Almost 3,300 undergraduates were admitted in 2021,a return to the norm of previous years after the anomalies of 2020 when,due to the exceptional arrangements for awarding qualifications in response to the pandemic,a much larger cohort was admitted.Most of those admitted in 2021 also suffered severe disruption to their education and are to be congratulated for doing so well in difficult circumstances.The data that follows illustrates that over the past five years the proportion of students from state schools rose from 58%to 68%.Those identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic rose from 18%to 25%.Those from the most socio-economically disadvantaged areas rose from 11%to 17%and those from areas with low progression to higher education rose from 13%to 17%.Those declaring a disability rose from 8%to 12%and the proportion of women rose from 50%to 55%.We have set ourselves a target that by 2023 25%of the British students we admit will be from deprived backgrounds.In the past four years that number has risen from 13%to 21%.The changing profile of our undergraduate student body is the result of hard work and dedication by a wide range of people;the students who work hard and the parents and teachers who support them,the admissions teams across the university who treat every single application with personal attention,those who run our outreach and access programs,and the generous donors who support our work.We have extended the reach of our flagship UNIQ programme by transferring it online and we have grown our bridging program,Opportunity Oxford,from 116 offers in 2020 to 231 offers in 2022.This year we will launch the Astrophoria Foundation Year,a new university wide foundation year for those with high potential whose education has been severely disrupted.On a less positive note,these pages also reveal the steep decline in students from the EU.This decline was expected as a result of the changing fee regime occasioned by Brexit but it is stark.The numbers admitted from the EU had dropped in half,from 8%to 4%and from an average of over 260 for the past four years,to 128 this year.The number of British students has increased slightly to 82%,as compared to a Russell group average of 73%.We have made significant progress over the past five years in ensuring that the brightest,most academically driven pupils in the country,no matter their background,aspire to study at Oxford and have a fair chance of admission.We are committed to continuing this work.Professor Louise

STATISTICAL REPORT|2022About this report This report presents undergraduate admissions statistics for the University of Oxford over five admissions years between 2017 and 2021,broken down into chapters covering the following areas:overall numbers,domicile,nation and region,disadvantage,school type,gender,ethnicity and disability.The report includes information for Oxfords colleges and largest courses,aggregated for the three admissions years 2019 to 2021.Aggregation has been used as small yearly figures are likely to provide a misleading picture.Nonetheless,some figures remain so small that a handful of decisions can appear to create large swings which have limited statistical value.This health warning applies even more strongly to single-year statistics for colleges and courses.The full data are available to view online:ox.ac.uk/adstats.The report also provides some national context for Oxfords data,primarily based on figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency(HESA).This includes information on the numbers of students achieving Oxfords minimum standard offer:three A grades or better at A-level and equivalent Scottish qualifications.It also compares Oxfords data with the higher education sector as a whole and with the Russell Group of leading universities.A summary of Oxfords admissions process can be found on page 38.Key points The number of students admitted in 2021 was back to the usual level,at 3,298.Over four fifths of those places(2,691)went to students living in the UK.The intake in 2020 was higher than normal following the exceptional arrangements for awarding A-levels and other qualifications in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.Between 2017 and 2021,within the total group of UK-domiciled undergraduates admitted:The proportion from state schools rose from 58.2%1 to 68.2%.The proportion identifying as Black and Minority Ethnic(BME)rose from 17.8%2 to 24.6%.The proportion from socio-economically disadvantaged areas rose from 10.6%to 17.3%.The proportion from areas of low progression to higher education rose from 12.9%to 17.0%.The proportion declaring a disability rose from 7.8%to 11.6%.The proportion of women rose from 50.0%to 55.2%.1 Percentages in this report have been rounded to one decimal place.2 Some figures are slightly different from those presented in previous editions of this report following data corrections.PAGE 3UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|20221.Overall numbers,including domicile This section presents information on Oxfords overall numbers,as well as the domicile of Oxfords applicants,offer holders and admitted students.OVERALL NUMBERS The number of students admitted in 2021 was back to the usual level.The intake in 2020 was higher than normal following the exceptional arrangements for awarding A-levels and other qualifications in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.Overall application numbers have risen annually,and by 22.0%since 2017.Table 1.1:Overall applications to Oxford,offers made and students admitted,all domiciles,20172021 APPLICATIONSOFFERSSTUDENTS ADMITTED2021 24,338 3,555 3,298 2020 23,414 3,932 3,695

fallen.UK-domiciled applicants are substantially more likely to receive an offer of a place to study at Oxford than students from outside the UK.The proportion of students admitted who are from the UK has risen to 81.6%.Oxford does not operate quotas or targets around the nationality or domicile of students admitted to the University.The exception is Medicine,which is subject to a government restriction on the number of students with international fee status who can be admitted each year.The highest number of overseas applications and admitted students was from the Peoples Republic of

offers,and are admitted.The figures relate to differing levels of socio-economic advantage and progression to higher education across the UK,and are derived from the ACORN and POLAR5 demographic systems.ACORN is a postcode-based tool that categorises the UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.POLAR is a similar tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.The ACORN and POLAR systems are widely recognised measures used by the regulator to set admissions targets for universities including Oxford.These systems are explained in more detail in the glossary to this report.UNIVERSITY-LEVEL DATAThe tables below show the number of applications,offers and students admitted from the two most socio-economically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56)and the two groups of young people least likely to progress to higher education(POLAR quintiles 1 and 2).In 2021,17.3%of UK students admitted to Oxford came from the two most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups(ACORN categories 4 and 56).This is an increase of 6.7 percentage points from 2017.Table 3.1:Socio-economic disadvantage:UK applications to

independent.UK-domiciled students applying from other types of school have been excluded from the tables below.This is because the group is small,constituting only 4.4%of applications(1,884)between 2019 and 2021,and includes students from overseas or unknown schools,making it difficult to draw reliable conclusions from the numbers.UNIVERSITY-LEVEL DATA The proportion of students admitted to Oxford from the UK state sector fell in 2021 following the exceptional intake in 2020 but remains higher than in all previous years since the University began recording detailed admissions

known about the ethnicity of UK-domiciled applicants to Oxford.4.7%of UK-domiciled applicants(2,010 students between 2019 and 2021)choose not to declare their ethnicity in their UCAS application.It is therefore not possible to make any statements in relation to their ethnicity and admissions status,and for that reason they have not been included in the tables below.UK-domiciled Black and Minority Ethnic(BME)students include those who indicate in their UCAS application that they identify as Black(including African,Caribbean and other Black background),Asian(including Bangladeshi,Indian,Pakistani,Chinese and other Asian background),Mixed Heritage(including White&Asian,White&Black African,White&Black Caribbean and other Mixed background),Arab or any other ethnicity except White.CONTEXTThe following graphics provide context for Oxfords figures,showing the BME share of the England and Wales population,the A-level achievement of BME students,and the proportion of BME students in different parts of the UK university sector.Note:Figures for the 2019/20 academic year(2019 intake)are the most recent available from HESA and have therefore been used in these

postcode-based tool that categorises the UKs population by level of socio-economic advantage.ACORN uses a range of data such as accommodation type,household income,population density and lifestyle habits to produce estimates of the characteristics of each individual household and postcode.Category 4 is described as financially stretched;category 5 as urban adversity.Both groups are characterised by lower-than-average household incomes.ACORN categories 4 and 5 represent 13.2%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities*.AdmittedStudents admitted refers to students who have been made an offer of a place at Oxford,met any conditions of that offer,and indicated that they intend to take up their place.ApplicationsApplications refers to students who submit a UCAS application by the 15 October deadline for an undergraduate course at Oxford.Applications by collegeIn tables that feature application numbers by college,the figures include those applicants who indicated a college of preference on their application,and anyone who made an open application who was then allocated to that college.Applicants considered by one college may still receive an offer from another college.CollegesOxford University is made up of over 30 colleges and halls.It is these colleges that admit undergraduate students to the University.All colleges have signed up to a Common Framework for Admissions which means the same application process for each course at every college.The colleges work together during the admissions process to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.Most colleges offer most courses but the exact mix and the number of places on each course does vary between colleges.For more information about colleges,please see ox.ac.uk/ugcolls.CoursesCourses refers to Oxfords undergraduate degree programmes.Students apply for these courses through UCAS.Some of these courses are in single subjects(eg History or Geography),while others are joint courses combining two or more subjects(eg Mathematics and Computer Science).Most courses are three or four years long and lead to a BA Honours degree or a Masters degree(eg MEarthSci or MMath).For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/courses.*First-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students,academic year 2019/20.Includes equivalent Scottish qualifications.See page 39 for full citation.PAGE 35UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2022DisabilityData in this report refer to disabilities that students have declared on their UCAS application.Students may also declare disabilities at later stages of the application process,or at any point during their course.For more information about the support available to disabled students,please see ox.ac.uk/disability.DisadvantageOxford uses various measures of disadvantage when considering applications,from various sources of available data.The main measures are:Educational disadvantage,which looks at the average performance of schools at GCSE and A-level.Socio-economic disadvantage,which looks at ACORN and POLAR data for the applicants home postcode.Oxford is also aware of students who have been in care,based on information provided in the UCAS application.For more information,please see ox.ac.uk/context.DomicileA students domicile refers to their country of permanent residence,as provided on their UCAS application.This is not necessarily their nationality,but it is the country where they usually live.For example,UK-domiciled students includes students with non-British nationality who are permanently resident in the UK(not just here for the purposes of education).It does not include UK students who live permanently outside the UK.EthnicityEthnicity refers to the ethnic origin of UK students,as declared on the UCAS application.Our data includes only those applicants who have indicated their ethnicity,so it does not include those who choose not to say(4.7%of applicants in the three years 2019-2021).Ethnicity data is not available to universities during the admissions process:UCAS shares this data after all the admissions decisions have been made.Gender This report uses the binary female/male options from the UCAS application,which may not reflect the gender identity of all applicants.The University welcomes students who wish to take,or have taken,steps to change the gender identity they were assigned at birth,and those who do not identify with a permanent binary gender identity.For more information,please see https:/edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/transgender.OffersApplications to Oxford are all considered together,and then shortlisted applicants are invited to interview.Around a third of those who are interviewed are then made an offer of a place.Most offers have conditions attached,such as achieving a particular set of grades at A-level,as specified for an applicants chosen course.Offers in this report includes all those students who receive an offer.The number of offers for any particular college may be higher than their application numbers as students may be moved between colleges during the application process.This is to ensure that the best applicants are successful,regardless of the college that initially considers their application.PAGE 36UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2022Open applicationApplicants can indicate a college of preference when they complete their UCAS application or they can make an open application.Open applicants are then allocated to a college.After this allocation,colleges review all their applications in exactly the same way:they make no distinction between direct and open applicants.POLARPOLAR is a postcode-based tool that measures how likely young people are to participate in higher education based on where they live.POLAR quintiles are calculated by dividing the number of young people in local areas who enter higher education aged 18 or 19 by the overall young population in those areas.POLAR quintiles 1 and 2 represent 14.5%of UK students achieving three A grades or better at A-level at UK universities.The POLAR classification is continuously developed and updated.2020 and 2021 data in this report are from POLAR4.Previous years data are from POLAR3.School typeData on school type use the standard UCAS school type categories,as declared by schools and colleges.These school types are grouped as follows:School groupSchool sub-groupNotesStateAcademyComprehensiveFE institutionsTertiary colleges and all types of further education collegeGrammarSixth form collegeOther maintainedOther secondary schools,special schools and city technology collegesIndependentIndependentOtherIndividual/UnknownThose applicants who applied online through UCAS without applying via a UCAS apply base(usually their school or college),or those where their apply bases school type is unknownOther UK institutionsMainly comprises language schools and HE institutions,but also includes a few other UK institutions that are not classified as either state or independentOverseas schoolsUCAS cycleWhen tables or text in this report refer to an individual year,that year relates to a UCAS cycle.For example,data labelled 2021 refers to the UCAS cycle in which applications to Oxford were made by 15 October 2020,mostly for entry in October 2021(a minority of applicants in this cycle will have deferred entry to October 2022).*First-year,first-degree,UK-domiciled undergraduate students,academic year 2019/20.Includes equivalent Scottish qualifications.See page 39 for full citation.PAGE 37UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2022Guide to the Oxford admissions process Candidates apply to Oxford through UCAS.The Oxford deadline is 15 October.As part of their application,students can specify a college,but nearly a fifth of candidates make an open application.Open applications are automatically allocated to a college with a lower number of direct applicants for the course,ensuring that candidates are distributed as equally as possible.Typically,Oxford aims to interview three candidates for every place.Shortlisting for interview is done to a centrally agreed set of criteria for each course and takes into account all the information from the UCAS form,including any factors that might provide context to past or predicted grades.During shortlisting,many courses reallocate candidates from one college to another.This ensures that the best candidates University-wide are selected for interview by an Oxford college,even if it is not the college to which they originally applied.Shortlisted candidates are interviewed in early December by the college to which they applied,or the one to which they were reallocated.Some courses,for example Medicine,only consider college preferences once the shortlisted candidates have been chosen.Candidates interview performance adds to the information already gathered,and decisions are then made as to who should receive an offer.Again,this is discussed at course level to ensure the overall best candidates are selected.As a result of open applications and reallocations,around a third of successful candidates get an offer from a college they didnt initially select.Offers go out to candidates in January.The number of offers exceeds the number of places available,to allow for candidates who decline their offer,withdraw,or fail to meet their offer conditions.Competition for places is high for all Oxford undergraduate courses,but some courses have many more applicants per available place than others.This is one reason why offer and admission rates vary noticeably between courses.Success rates are also influenced by the fixed number of undergraduates admitted annually by each college,and by the courses offered at any given college.As some colleges receive far more direct applications than others,the reallocation process described above is used to move candidates between colleges and ensure fair chances regardless of where candidates originally applied.Further information on this process and how to apply is available at www.ox.ac.uk/study.PAGE 38UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT|2022Note on HESA data DataThe data presented in Section 1(Overall numbers,including domicile)have been restricted to all first-year,first-degree undergraduate students in

Scottish Advanced Higher and at least AAAAB at Scottish Higher.Students with equivalent qualifications,eg equivalent in IB points,are removed from this pool.When the AAA A-level pool is broken down into its constituent categories(A*AA,A*A*A,A*A*A*),candidates obtaining at least AA at Scottish Advanced Higher and at least AAAAB at Scottish Higher are included in every category.ACORN categories 4 and 5 presented here do not include Type 34(Student flats and halls of residence),which falls within category 4.This type is included within the remaining ACORN categories.The information available for school type is:state school,other school,unknown.It is assumed that other school comprises predominantly independent schools.The data provided for gender records the sex of the student,as opposed to the gender with which they identify.Other is included for students whose sex aligns with terms such as intersex,androgyne,intergender,ambigender,gender fluid,polygender and gender queer.Further details are available here:https:/www.hesa.ac.uk/support/definitions/students.Students with unknown ACORN,POLAR,school type,domicile,region and ethnicity status are excluded from the relevant
