Transcript:
Your transcripts should give detailed information of the individual grades received in your university-level qualifications to date. You should only upload official documents issued by your institution and any transcript not in English should be accompanied by a certified translation.More information about the transcript requirement is available in the Application Guide.(https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/applying-to-oxford/application-guide?wssl=1#content-tab--4)
Curriculum Vitae:
A CV/résumé is compulsory for all applications. Most applicants choose to submit a document of one to two pages highlighting their academic achievements and any relevant professional experience.
Personal Statement:
You should provide a personal statement written in English that explains why you want to study this particular master’s course, focusing on academic rather than personal achievements, interests and aspirations. A clearly set out and well-documented research proposal (of up to two pages) in English can be also included as a single, combined document with your personal statement, with an appropriate sub-heading. https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/mphil-archaeology?wssl=1
Recommendation Letter:
Three overall, generally academic.
Whilst you must register three referees, the department may start the assessment of your application if two of the three references are submitted by the course deadline and your application is otherwise complete. Please note that you may still be required to ensure your third referee supplies a reference for consideration.
Academic references are generally preferred. One professional reference is acceptable, but in cases where more than one such reference is sought you should contact the department to explain why this is necessary.
Your references will support academic achievement, and potential for graduate study and research.
Written Work:
Academic essays or other writing samples, written in English, are required. These can be undergraduate essays or excerpts from a longer work such as chapters from a dissertation, in which case they should be prefaced by a note which puts them in context.
It is not necessary that these relate directly to archaeology. The word count does not need to include any bibliography or brief footnotes.
This will be assessed for ability to assess evidence, derive logical conclusions, and write in a scholarly and lucid manner.
