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:
Your statement should be written in English and explain your motivation for applying for the course at Oxford and the specific areas that interest you and/or you intend to specialise in. You should also include details of any relevant experience in engaging in research on social aspects of the Internet.
This will be assessed for interest and enthusiasm for study of the many social aspects of information, and communication technologies.
Your statement should focus on your motivations to undertake research on the social aspects of the Internet rather than solely on personal achievements, interests and aspirations.
Recommendation Letter:
Three overall, academic and/or professional.
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.
Your references will support intellectual ability, aptitude and outstanding academic achievement.
Professional references are acceptable, particularly if you have been out of education for some time, but should focus particularly on your intellectual abilities rather than more narrowly on job performance.
Written Work:
An academic essay or other writing sample from your most recent qualification, written in English, is required. An extract of the requisite length from longer work is also permissible.
If you have not previously written on areas closely related to the proposed research topic, you may provide written work on any topic that best demonstrates your academic abilities. The word count does not need to include any bibliography or brief footnotes.
This will be assessed for academic potential, particularly insofar as the work demonstrates analytical rigour and clear thinking and writing.
