Dream - Is there any among the Dream friends who have a dream to study at Oxford University? Oxford is one of the prestigious universities in the world that has been established since the 11th century. This makes Oxford the second oldest university in the world after the University of Bologna. For Dream friends who are fans of the Harry Potter movies, the buildings on the Oxford campus are the shooting locations for several scenes in the phenomenal film. In addition, Oxford University is the undergraduate campus of Indonesian actress and singer Maudy Ayunda.

Nabil pursued his undergraduate degree (S1) in Computer Science at Oxford University, achieving a GPA of 3.75 out of 4. Nabil also shared tips on how to apply for an undergraduate program at Oxford University, my Dream friend. He explained this on the YouTube channel of Zhafira Aqyla. Here are some of his tips that you can note down, Dream friend.

First, Dream's friends must register through the official Universities and College Admissions Service (UCAS) website. Then, fill out the registration form on the website. In addition, applicants must also provide a personal statement and explain why they are deserving of acceptance into the university and the specific program they are aiming for. Nabil also advised that we can apply to up to 5 universities, but we cannot apply to both Oxford and Cambridge simultaneously.

In registration, Dream friends don't forget to check the requirements of each department first. Because according to Nabil, the requirements of each department require different pre-university program requirements. Nabil said that in some departments, the requirement is A*AA at level A. Then, some departments require AA*. Besides that, you can also register using IB, AP, and so on.

The next step is to write an essay, recommendation letter, and prepare the IELTS score. For the personal essay, it requires 500 words in English. Then, don't forget to provide a recommendation letter to support the registration process. As for Nabil himself, he obtained the letter from the Guidance and Counseling teacher at his school.

The next equally important tip is to pay close attention to the registration and examination timing. The document submission process is carried out in the same month as the registration test phase. Therefore, applicants or prospective students must regularly check the schedule. Nabil said that in Indonesia, the test center is located in Jakarta. "Just search for the Oxford test, then the test site will appear," said Nabil.

Then, the registrants or prospective students who pass the test and document registration stage, will proceed to the interview. This interview will discuss academic topics closely related to the intended major. The interview process is conducted online.

Nabil, who is majoring in Computer Science, was asked about Algorithms to Mathematics. In this case, there were no questions about the curriculum, such as extracurricular activities. "The interview was conducted three times and the questions were very academic, in line with your major," explained Nabil.
