[PhD in Education from Oxford or Cambridge]

Justaplaneaway--

I am in a MSc and PhD in Education at Oxford. I was able to fund the year long MSc, but am currently looking at funding opportunities for the PhD portion of my program. The department does offer some scholarships and the colleges also offer their own scholarships to students. So, there may be some money through the department, the university, or the college that accepts you.

I don't know anything about Cambridge, but the ed. dept. at Oxford is great. Excellent professors. Interesting research. And I have a lot of very interesting classmates. I also really like the learning environment here as well -- its very supportive. In addition to my academic supervisor, I also have an adviser and a mentor through my college. Socially, its great too because the college system allows you to meet people from outside your discipline.

The funding issue is definitely a problem though.

I was wondering what you study? Cambridge has a faculty member I am dying to study with (and whose interests are similar) but at Oxford, there is not a huge overlap, so I am wondering if it is worth applying to. Also, what was your background, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you so much for the info! I was going to pay out of pocket...but was curious more about their admissions rates, ect. Having gone to Columbia and UPenn, I know there are huge variances, but have no idea about the UK programs.

I went to TC and UPenn; you seem to have a good chance at Teachers College, and I would apply. Good luck!

Just curious if there are any (or were) US students applying to Oxford or Cambridge? Does anyone have information on their admissions process/statistics?
