University of Oxford Academic Probation Policy

<p>As folks have been saying, when you apply to Oxford, you will apply to a specific “course” (what we Yanks might call a “program” or “major”) and then you devote yourself to that “course” for three years, then you get your Bachelor’s degree. You are not allowed to combine courses, but some courses do already have a combination of subjects (like PPE==which is Philosophy, Politics, and Economics).</p>

<p>This is why Oxford is looking for people who are willing to commit themselves to a single course for three years. They are not looking for someone who wants to run around and “dabble” in a lot of different subjects and extracurriculars. There is no such thing as a “minor”.</p>

<p>As you can see, this is very different from a typical American BA program.</p>
