Oxford University - international student wanting to apply?
I was wondering, what you need to do to get there provided you are an international student (Poland precisely). I heard you need to have either CPE (B mark) or CAE (A mark) or some others, but I think I would rather focus on these ones (they are permanent, the fact which would come in handy during job applications in future). As far as the exams goes, I heard you need to have like 90% of 'Matura' (Polish exam of maturity), but what else ? You need some unusual qualifications ? I've been wondering also about the fees - if you would do great during the 'Matura' or whatsoever would you still need to pay ? I am not really that much well-informed about the UK schools, so I don't know anything notwithstanding I would like to go there. So here is the abridged version of what I wrote - questions: 1. What do you need to apply for Oxford ? 2. What are the fees, and when you don't need to pay them ? 3. Concerning the fees, what are they approximately ? 4. Are there any alternatives, and what would the prices be ? I don't have that much money, but going to such 'elite' university would be great. 5. What is the price of the accommodation in the dorms? I heard there was some strike concerning the students' fees. Thanks in advance !

http://www.britishcouncil.pl/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 This is a Polish message board about studies in UK If you are Polish you might not be "international" but "EU national" (so you will pay EU fees which are less expensive) Don't bother with CAE or CPE. IELTS is waay easier to pass. It is valid for 2 years but trust me "eternal" validity is not worth so much extra effort. 1. Matura with at least 3 Advanced Level subjects. Also to get offer you need to go through interviews. It's not easy to get an offer and it depens how competitive your course is. 2,3,4 Oxford's fees are not higher than other universities'. You can apply for loan from governament and pay back after you graduate and have a job.
