What are the popular majors in Oxbridge
Teacher:
University of CambridgeThe most popular major is the natural sciences, mainly because Cambridge combines physics, chemistry, and biology, collectively referred to as natural sciences, so it leads to a large number of student applications, and its acceptance rate is also high, reaching 17%; The second most popular is the mathematics majorThe reason for this is also related to the good foundation of mathematics of Chinese students, and the admission rate of this major is also as high as 34%; The third most popular is the engineering major, which also has an acceptance rate of 17%.
And there is also a new trend in the application of majors at the University of Oxford, which is worth paying attention to, that is:The number of applicants for liberal arts and social sciences and niche subjects is increasing, such as Classics and French, Experimental Psychology, PPE, History, etc. The proliferation of professional applications shows that everyone no longer only pays attention to "what is good to apply" and "what is popular", but young people are more important: Who am I? What do I want to do? What am I good at passionate about?
How should you choose one of the two in Oxbridge?
There is only one choice between Oxford and Cambridge, is it easy to choose an invitation? Or is it a popular major? Don't be entangled, Mr. Ruby will teach you how to choose:
fromInterview this aspectCompared with Oxford, Cambridge does not pay so much attention to the most basic information (standardized grades, competition results and essays, etc.), but relies more on the interview, professors and students through face-to-face communication, and finally make an evaluation judgment. Therefore, for students applying to Cambridge, the interview accounts for a larger proportion. On the contrary, the University of Oxford is more cautious in issuing face-to-face invitations, and will strictly assess the performance of the written test, standardized results, and whether the content in the essay is true, but the chance of getting an offer after the interview invitation is relatively easy.
The two schools are different except for the interviewThe professional setting is also very different。Taking economics as an example, Cambridge Economics is a pure economics curriculum, so it focuses on mathematics, and its written test is purely about mathematics, including 30 or 40% of the content in the interview, which is actually examining mathematics. Oxford, on the other hand, does not have a pure economics major, and it has more to do with economics than economic management. Its written test is no longer a pure test of mathematics, it tests the overall logical thinking of students, so its acceptance rate is a little lower than that of Cambridge Pure Scripture, only 6%. Therefore, students should choose a major according to their actual situation
What are the qualities that a student needs to possess to be admitted to Oxbridge?
Teacher:
First of all, the subject score must be up to standard. The subject requirements of Oxbridge and G5 universities are clearly listed on the official website, for example, Oxford no longer accepts O level as a language score, and must be a higher level. The corresponding IELTS requirement is 7A total score of 5 points, a small score of 7 points, this information can be found on the official website, but the subject score is actually only the requirements of the official website, in fact, the students who get admitted are all at a level of three A* and above, which is relatively higher than the official website requirements.
Secondly, have the ability to think critically. When faced with a difficult problem, students should think about the problem dialectically and solve it through different perspectives.
Furthermore, a strong academic passion. Have a strong desire for knowledge in your own professional field, only in this way can you have continuous motivation and continuous cultivation in your future studies.
In general, students who want to apply for Oxbridge cannot just rely on brushing scores to meet the requirements of subject grades. In the process of improving performance, we should also pay attention to the cultivation of logic and thinking skills, time ability, pressure resistance, communication ability, and expand our knowledge. And all this will ultimately be presented to the examiner what kind of person you are. The days when college students are at home
