Oxford undergraduate offers usually come out in early to mid January , with all applicants (UK and international) hearing on the same day each year via UCAS and email.

Key dates and pattern

  • Oxford uses a fixed January release window each cycle, typically around the second week of January.
  • For recent cycles, decisions have been scheduled for dates such as 13–14 January , with colleges and UCAS aligning so everyone hears on the same day.
  • The offers arrive:
    • Through UCAS Hub/Track first thing in the morning (UK time).
* Followed by **college emails** later in the morning or around midday.

Typical timeline around offers

  • October (previous year): UCAS deadline (15 October).
  • Late October–November: Admissions tests and written work deadlines.
  • December: Interviews at colleges.
  • January : Final decisions and offers released to all applicants on one set date.

What time on the day?

  • Students and colleges report decisions appearing in the morning UK time , often between 9am and midday , with some college emails continuing into early afternoon.
  • UCAS notifications can lag slightly behind or ahead of college emails, so it is normal if one updates before the other.

If you are waiting now

  • Check UCAS Hub periodically on the expected January date for your cycle, then look out for an email from your college.
  • If you have nothing by later afternoon UK time on the official date, check:
    • Spam/junk folders.
    • That UCAS and your college have your correct email.

TL;DR: When people ask “ when do Oxford offers come out? ” they almost always mean: a single day in early January, with decisions released in the morning via UCAS and then by college email, the exact date published each year on Oxford’s admissions timeline.
