FAQs
We ask for 3 academic references but these references can also be provided by institutes where you have undertaken an internship, or where any directly relevant experience has been gained. It is important that you input the work address for all referees and not generic personal addresses, such as Gmail/Hotmail for example. Referees will also need to submit their references by the January deadline so please ensure you notify them of these dates.
No, we do not require any additional work. If you do have any relevant work that you have done, such as formal written work from an astrophysics project that you have completed, you may include that in your application if you wish. Please do not send any large or bulky items, however.
We don't expect a specific research proposal and supervisor preference at application stage. If you have a strong preference at this stage then of course you are welcome to, however we suggest you enter "Astrophysics", optionally followed by specification of a general project type, such as "Observation", "Theory" or "Instrumentation". If you are shortlisted for an interview, you will be given multiple opportunities to speak with different supervisors before confirming your preferences.

No. At graduate level we only offer the DPhil research degree (equivalent to Ph.D.) in astrophysics. In addition to the DPhil courses, the Maths and Physics departments jointly offer a taught Masters course in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, see MMathPhys.
