Hi! I'll try make more videos soon!! I have some videos up on Oxvlog (th-cam.com/users/oxvlog) but I definitely do need to make more. Are there any things in particular you'd like me to cover?

No problem - enjoy your trip! It might be handy to know that the Vietnamese word for vegan is 'chay' and that Vietnamese vegans/vegetarians often choose this diet for religious reasons, and so do not eat garlic/onion/chilli as well. This website has more recommendations of where to eat: www.veganfoodquest.com/vegan-guide-to-hanoi/

I loved my trip and ate at three of the places you recommended, all excellent! I also went to the jazz club.

Hey! I would say it's quite balanced between the social and natural sciences (2 papers for the natural sciences and 2 papers for the social sciences) and the best part is you can really see the links between everything. One of the coolest things I've learnt about this year is gene culture co-evolution - how human culture can actually alter gene frequencies :ooo. I didn't think I'd like ecology and I will admit some bits are a bit dry, but learning about conservation, the anthropocene etc. has been really eye opening and enjoyable.

Hi! Yes I will when I go back - on holiday right now. I'm currently a vlogger for the Oxvlog project so I'll be posting more Oxford videos there: th-cam.com/users/oxvlog :)

Bertha Ladzekpo Hiya!! I had an interview at Mansfield yesterday - how did you find it?

@@jedela It was just wow😅I learnt so much about things that I was unfamilar with and found out how interconnected various parts of the course are from the questions I was asked. The tutors we so nice and interesting to talk to. What about you?

Bertha Ladzekpo The tutors were so so lovely! The college looked absolutely gorgeous too. I actually really enjoyed my Mansfield interview - did they show you the map with the languages and the seeds?

@@jedela message me here😶my lips are sealed TH-cam. th-cam.com/users/add_contact?c=T6fzpLvlLku2TN9XPIy0fyBCCSMpxg

I'm so sorry - I just saw this! Hope your interview went well and that you are enjoying the experience. Do take the time to explore Oxford, the many museums (the Pitt Rivers Museum is pretty quirky), and Christmas Market on Broad Street! Hope to meet you next year as well <3 <3 Let me know what happens!

Thank you so much! Hope your interviews have been going well. I made a video with general tips/advice here: th-cam.com/video/QfCPTt1lO5o/w-d-xo.html But if you don't have time to watch it, just make sure to talk through your thinking and any questions that arise, to stay calm, and if you are super unsure about something, ask the interviewers. I was unsure about something so I asked them, then I used the information they gave me to answer their original question :) I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to tell you what questions were asked specifically, and they vary from year to year and college to college anyway, but they usually reflect the academic/subject background of the interviewer(s). Small tip though: maybe take a little bit of time to consider Human Sciences in the context of society - in current events, in cultural trends, in changes that can be made - and how a degree as diverse as this can help you to understand it. In all of my interviews, they seemed to want me to connect Human Sciences to the wider world. Good luck!

Hiya, yes it is a brilliant but small course (which isn't a bad thing at all!). I applied for Mansfield College (where I'm at at the moment. We have the best food, especially at formals (friends at other colleges agree ahaha), and apparently we were voted as having the best vegetarian food!). The TSA was unlike anything I'd done before so it was unusual but once you do a few past papers you get into the hang of it!

Yasmin Linh Thank you for replying so fast!! (Also just realised you mentioned Mansfield at the start of the vid - sorry!) I actually put it down as my preferred college bc I’m so sold on good veggie food and friendly people. I found the TSA pretty rough and it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped so I’ll be over the moon if I even get an interview. How was your interview?

​@@jedela I really enjoyed my interview actually, but it will probably depend on what your interviewer chooses to focus on (stats, biology, anthropology... our course is very diverse!) and what your interests are. It wasn't easy by any means, but it was a thought-provoking experience which definitely made me question my own assumptions! :)

Yasmin Linh Thank you for the advice!! I’ve been reallocated to Harris Manchester (which was to be expected bc I’ll be a mature student but it looks super nice too) and have my interview soon. I’m super nervous but also really excited!!! Sorry for all the questions but do you also have any book recommendations?

​@@jedela No problem! All the best! Unfortunately, I don't have any book recommendations as I didn't read anything specifically for my course prior to my interview - most of my motivation to do the course came from real life experiences (e.g. conferences, articles I'd read over the years, and panel discussions as I mention in the video). However, you could check out the Human Sciences reading list for some suggestions. (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/suggested-reading-and-resources?wssl=1

Hi! Yes of course! I believe you'll be able to private message me by following this link youtu.be/addme/Oxl-w0S8xFzwTWAi3JR6RI2tEbHeJg

I'm applying too! Which college are you applying for?

Thanks! :)
