Electives Selection Criteria
Selection Criteria for the Elective Programme.
Applications are selected on the basis of:
- Good communication skills in English
- A good academic record
- Quality of recommendation by two referees from your home university
- The extent to which the applicant is likely to benefit from this Elective
- A good CV
The number of Elective students accepted from any one country each year is limited to promote equity. Applications from countries which host Oxford medical students may receive a higher priority.
50 places are available to Elective students each year.
You must be a medical student at the time of your Elective placement. Qualified doctors are not accepted on the Elective programme.
