Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to Lower Second Class on the UK Honour scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on the UK Honour scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
At least a high upper 2nd class honours degree in a social science is normally required. However, entrance is very competitive and most successful applicants have a first class degree or its equivalent. It is also possible for students who have not specialized in a social science to read for the MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. Relevant experience in forced migration is desirable but not required. Please refer to the Graduate Studies Prospectus for more information http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate_courses/index.html
A good command of English (both written and spoken) is essential. Candidates whose first language is not English are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English (eg by taking the TOEFL or IELTS test).
