Admissions test
No pre-registered admissions test for 2027 entry. Oxford retired the legacy written test for this course family — applicants are assessed on UCAS application, predicted grades, personal statement and interview alone.
Written work
Submit one or two pieces of recent marked school work in the subject (or a closely related humanities subject), normally with the teacher's comments visible. Standard Oxford written-work deadline is 10 November 2026 — each course's admissions page confirms the exact rules.
Interview
Two college interviews of around 25 minutes each. Subject-specific discussion or problem-solving interviews typical of Oxford tutorial teaching. Most interviews are in person at the college; many colleges still offer online interviews for international applicants.

Question Types You’ll See

Discussion of personal-statement readingUnseen-passage commentary or unfamiliar problemSubject reasoning under guidance

Shortlisted applicants are invited to online interviews in December. The format is recorded as an academic discussion with a tutorial-style subject focus, but the detailed duration information is partial rather than fully verified on current Oxford pages.

Joint-course applicants should expect tutors representing each subject, and the panel size is typically recorded as 2 interviewers.

The interview window is early to mid-December 2026, though the exact subject-specific timetable had not yet been published when checked.

Preparation should emphasise close reading, language explanation, and comparative thinking out loud. Strong answers tend to show how you notice detail, test an interpretation, and revise it when the interviewer gives you new information.

Do not script speeches about why the ancient world matters. It helps more to practise turning a short passage, image, inscription, or linguistic puzzle into a structured academic conversation.

合否決定のしくみ

Selection is best understood as a holistic judgement across interview performance, written work, academic record and predicted or achieved grades, subject fit, personal statement or reference, and contextual information.

The visual weighting model on this page is editorial; Oxford does not publish numerical weights for these criteria.

That means no single component should be treated as a guaranteed route in or out. A strong application is usually coherent across grades, written work, subject motivation, and interview discussion.

For this course, coherence matters because the degree is explicitly combined. The connection between Classics and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies should be visible, but not forced.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

Your personal statement should explain why this combination makes academic sense. Avoid writing one paragraph on Classics and one unrelated paragraph on Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.

A stronger structure is usually a chain of questions: a text, language, region, period, or historical contact point that led you from one side of the degree to the other. Reflection matters more than name-dropping.

Because the first-named subject makes up about two-thirds of the degree and the second subject about one-third, it is worth being precise about the route you are applying for.

Include one or two moments where your thinking changed. That could be a translation choice, a historical assumption you corrected, or a comparison that became more complicated as you read more.

A good project for this course should make you handle evidence closely. That might mean comparing translations, tracing a concept across cultures, or examining how a text changes when read through language, material culture, or historical context.

Project examples should be presented as editorial suggestions, not Oxford requirements. Possible directions include a close comparison of two translations, a short language-learning log with reflections on grammar, or a focused study of one object, text, or historical contact point.

その他のサプリキュラム

It helps to build evidence that you can read carefully, think across cultures, and sustain independent study.

These are support, not substitute. They only help if they sharpen the academic case you are making.

  • Keep a reading notebook that records questions, not just summaries.:

  • Practise explaining grammatical or translation decisions.:

  • Visit museum collections with a specific research question.:

  • Compare a primary source with a modern scholarly interpretation.:

  • Write short reflections after lectures, talks, or documentaries.:

Section 08

コンペティション

Competitions are not required for this course.

Only include a competition if it genuinely developed the academic case you are making. One or two meaningful experiences are more useful than a long list of thin claims.

  1. Fitzwilliam College Essay Competitions: Ancient World and Classics — essay competition covering ancient history and classical culture; directly relevant to the Classics component
  2. St John's College, Oxford Classics and Ancient History Essay Competition — essay competition run by St John's College Oxford on Classics and ancient history
  3. Stephen Spender Prize — poetry translation prize; directly relevant to applicants working across ancient and modern language texts
  4. Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators — national translation competition; develops precision across languages
  5. International Linguistics Olympiad — linguistics problem-solving competition; builds script analysis and language-structure skills relevant to this joint degree
  6. John Locke Institute Essay Competition — global essay prize; History and Philosophy tracks are strong fits for extended comparative argument

Section 10

提出書類

Written work is required for this course.

Oxford requires 2 pieces of written work, due by 10 November 2026.

At least one piece should be relevant to Classics where possible.

Choose work that shows how you analyse evidence, not just how much you know. A marked school essay can work well if it gives tutors something specific to discuss at interview.

Section 11

Classics and Asian and Middle Eastern Studiesの知識を深める

Build knowledge around three habits: close reading, language attention, and comparison. Keep notes on how a primary source is translated, what assumptions a historian makes, and where a cultural comparison becomes more difficult than it first looked.

Good preparation might include reading primary sources in translation, comparing different translations, exploring museum collections, and following introductory faculty material where available. These are preparation strategies, not formal Oxford requirements.

Use the official course page as the final check for course identity and admissions requirements.

For the Classics component, Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford publishes department lectures on ancient history, language and literature. The Ancients podcast gives well-researched popular episodes on Greek and Roman history, useful for breadth without sacrificing intellectual seriousness.

For the Asian and Middle Eastern component, SOAS University of London publishes academic lectures on Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Persian and regional histories. In Our Time has authoritative episodes on Buddhism, Islamic theology, and major historical periods relevant to Middle Eastern and Asian routes.

For structured courses, Greek and Roman Mythology on Coursera (University of Pennsylvania) gives a rigorous route into classical narrative tradition. For language preparation, Getting started on classical Latin on FutureLearn provides a structured entry into Latin grammar.

カレッジ選択と再振り分け

39 colleges offer this subject. Around 20% of applicants submit an open application. ~27.7% of places come through the pool.

Oxford is collegiate for this course, with 39 colleges in the recorded college-choice data.

Around 20% of Oxford applicants make open applications.

Oxford uses reallocation rather than a Cambridge-style pool.

A course-level reallocation figure of about 27.7% is not fully verified; Oxford general guidance is often expressed more broadly as around a third. Do not use either figure as a tactical college-choice shortcut.

Choose a college for sensible reasons: course availability, accommodation preferences, location, and whether you would be happy being taught there. Do not try to game the system using small-number admissions statistics.

Section 13

卒業後のキャリア

No official course-level graduate sector percentage table was verified for this course, so this page should not show invented sector percentages or employer lists.

The safer framing is that this degree develops close reading, language learning, historical analysis, and argument-building.

Those skills can support routes into further study, education, museums and heritage, public policy, publishing, law, consulting, and international-facing work. Treat that as guidance, not a course-level destination statistic.

Section 14

特別な事情について

Context can matter where it explains subject availability, school offering, disruption, or uneven access to language teaching. Relevant context should normally be made clear through the UCAS reference or formal channels.

For this course, subject availability is particularly important. If your school did not offer Latin, Greek, or relevant Asian and Middle Eastern languages, the application should show what you did have access to and how you used it.
