Increasing access
The University and colleges are doing more than ever to increase the number of promising postgraduate students from under-represented groups at Oxford.
University access schemes
The University's schemes to increase the number of postgraduate students from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds at Oxford include:
- UNIQ+, the flagship graduate access programme aimed at talented undergraduates who would find continuing to postgraduate study a challenge for reasons other than their academic ability
- Wellcome Biomedical Vacation Scholarships provide promising undergraduates with experience of research
