You have to apply through www.ucas.com

The Oxbridge deadline for overseas applications has been moved forward I believe. It used to be 1st October but now I think it is mid-September. So to apply for a place starting October 2007, you must apply by September 2006.

As far as I’m aware the reason no-one can apply for undergraduate courses at both Oxford and Cambridge is that this would double applications to both and they could not interview all the applicants in the time available. If you are in the US you will have to travel to New York or Vancouver for an interview. Oxford sometimes allow phone interviews.

psmyth000 is absolutely right. You would be treated as an overseas student because you have not lived in the EU (for purposes other than education) for 3 years+ and have hence not paid enough taxes into the system to justify a subsidised place.

PPE at Oxford is one of the most famous courses in the world. Many UK Prime Ministers took it, hence it’s very competitive.
