    And personally they would have to build colleges at Oxford University make it in even bigger campus for a student that wants to go to Oxford University. That’s maybe in the wheelchair because you wouldn’t want to stress of having to figure out all that information before you start your law degree or medical degree at Oxford University

    PPE is like an incomplete Political science degree with little bit economics and little bit philosophy. It is designed for someone who cannot do too much math in economics and cannot analyze too much attract ideas in philosophy.

    • @oxfordfromtheinside3680
      @oxfordfromtheinside3680 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! It's definitely ok to cover multiple topics in your personal statement but just make sure you have enough space to talk about some in depth. The tutors want to see your though processes, so it's probably not helpful to just list 20 topics. Sorry, we can't give more specific advice as every personal statement is individual! Hope this helps :)

    This is a very informative and honest video. Thanks for sharing. May I ask about programming for the Physics undergraduate degree? Which among the programming languages would be most useful? Python, Java, C++, and so on. If I were to pick one or two to self-train on, which ones would they be?

    • @eugenekim7910
      @eugenekim7910 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi @6700rpm, it's probably a very late response, but Python is more useful than Java or C++ - at least for the Oxford MPhys/BA course. This is because we use mostly Python and MATLAB in our course. I further believe that because Python is more "high-level" code it teaches you data analysis concepts and logical flows better.

    How the hell is she 'South Asian' ? She is from Surrey in England she said right?? So she is British-Asian. Stop using broader racial identity to representing a specific ethnicity. A South Asian is one who is from South Asia such as India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Afghanistan so on. And looking at the Oxford's statistics they don't have a greater representation from South Asian region as compare to Cambridge. That's why lots of brilliant international students including from South Asia prefer Cambridge University and progress to become Nobel laureates, scientists, academics, entrepreneurs etc. Oxford is a Racist University!

    • @oxfordfromtheinside3680
      @oxfordfromtheinside3680 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Firstly, in my opinion you should apply if you want to. Secondly, GCSE's are only one aspect of what they'll be looking at, so things like you're admissons test, predicted grades, personal statement are all accessed. Thirdly, if you apply and don't get in but your A Level exam results went really well - I would also suggestbeing open to reapplying. As if you apply already having the grades, it puts you in a strong position when applying. Hope this helps :))
