Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications), as a minimum, in economics.Applicants whose first degree contains little or no economics cannot be considered for this course. The minimum requirement is the equivalent of two years of full-time study at university level of economics courses (please note that courses in finance, planning, business, management and other similar subjects do not count as economics courses). Some mathematical and quantitative ability is essential for this course.If your first degree contains too little economics for the MSc, but you nonetheless wish to study development at Oxford, you may wish to consider the two-year MPhil in Economics?or the two-year MPhil in Development Studies.Entrance to the course is very competitive and most successful applicants have a first-class degree or the equivalent.
This is a nine-month degree in development economics with a strong emphasis on bringing methods of modern economic analysis to economic development theory and policy. The course will prepare you for further academic research or for work as a professional development economist in international agencies, governments or the private sector.
Candidates are required to have Mathematics to A-level, Advanced Higher, Higher Level in the IB or another equivalent.
All candidates must also take the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) as part of their application.

Applicants are noApplicants are normally expected to have a previous degree in history, but for master's applications a number of candidates will be accepted without. You will need to ensure that you link your proposed dissertation topic with your previous expertise when you present it in your research proposal, or that you explain why you want to switch to study history, and to show that you have already done some background research into it.?Your submitted written work should show your writing and research skills in their best light, as it will be important to show that you have the necessary skills required for historical research.
This one-year specialist course offers a unique framework for research training in economic and social history. It offers a wide range of options and allows you to specialise in economic and/or social history, or historical demography, although the boundaries between these areas are deliberately permeable.

Applicants are normally expected to have achieved a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications), as a minimum, in economics or another approved subject (such as mathematics), and demonstrate a strong quantitative preparation.Applicants must also be predicted or to have achieved an outstanding performance in a rigorous master's course in economics as a minimum, and offers will be made conditional on obtaining a distinction grade (or an equivalent level of performance where a distinction grade is not officially awarded).Note that a master's qualification that is only partially in economics would not be considered a suitable background. Note also that a master's qualification in a specialised field within economics (e.g. development economics, applied economics, or financial economics) may also be insufficient background.
Oxford has a thriving group of research students studying for the DPhil in Economics. The DPhil is the name Oxford gives to its doctoral degree rather than the more familiar name PhD used in most other universities, but the structure of the degree is identical to that of the PhD at leading economics graduate schools worldwide.
