would usually be considered to meet its minimum entry requirements.\n\nYou should also make sure that you meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying to, as specified on each [course page](https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/admissions\/graduate\/courses\/courses-a-z-listing). Academic departments may use other sources of information on grading standards, eg within your specific subject area, in setting both entry requirements and offer conditions for individual courses. How to use this guidance This guidance is intended as a source of information to help you decide whether your qualifications are likely to offer a suitable background for applying to a graduate course at Oxford, alongside the entry requirements for your specific course. This overview information is offered for the countries from which the University receives a high number of applications and\/or queries and does not cover every type of qualification and grading scale which may be considered an acceptable basis for a competitive application to Oxford. There can also be significant complexity and variability within any national system of higher education which can affect how a particular grade is considered, eg differences in grading between institutions. **Please note that admissions to Oxford are very competitive and that meeting the minimum entry requirements will not guarantee an offer of a place.** The academic department will review your application on the basis of the materials you provide and in relation to other applications to the course. Countries for which guidance is available **If guidance for your country is not shown below** and you would like to discuss your suitability for a graduate course, contact the academic department using the details provided on the [course page](https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/admissions\/graduate\/courses\/courses-a-z-listing).\n\n### A\n### Australia\n#### Undergraduate qualifications\n**If your graduate course at Oxford requires a 'strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours' in the UK system,** you will usually need one of the following qualifications:\n\n- a Bachelor Degree with an overall grade of a Distinction; or\n- a Bachelor Honours Degree with an overall grade of Second Class (Upper\/A\/1) Division.\n\n**If your graduate course at Oxford requires a 'first class undergraduate degree with honours' in the UK system,** you will usually need one of the following qualifications:\n\n- a Bachelor Degree with an overall grade of a Higher Distinction, with a percentage of 80% (from Universities using a 80%-100% range) or 85% (from universities using a 85%-100% range); or\n- a Bachelor Honours Degree with an overall grade of First Class.\n#### Masters’ qualifications\n**If your graduate course at Oxford requires a master's degree in the UK system,** you will usually need:\n\n- a Master’s Degree with an overall grade of a Credit (66%) for a Pass equivalent;\n- a Master’s Degree with an overall grade of a Second Class (Upper Division) or Distinction for a Merit equivalent; or\n- a Master’s Degree with an overall grade of a High Distinction for a Distinction equivalent.\n\n[top](https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/admissions\/graduate\/international-applicants\/international-qualifications#field_listing_content_top)\n\n### B\n### Brazil\n#### Undergraduate qualifications\n**If your graduate course at Oxford requires a 'strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours' in the UK system,** you will usually need one of the following qualifications:\n\n- a Título de Bacharel with an overall grade of 7.5 out of 10;\n- a Título de \\[subject area\\] with an overall grade of 7.5 out of 10; or\n- a Título de Licenciado\/a (when awarded after a minimum of four years) with an overall grade of 7.5 out of 10.\n\nDue to the high variation in grading practices between institutions, these grading standards are approximate and provided for general reference only.

Boilerpipe Text	Colourful houses on Longwall Street (Image credit: Long Cheng / Graduate Photography Competition) The University offers general guidance on the types of qualifications and grades from countries outside the UK that would usually be considered to meet its minimum entry requirements. You should also make sure that you meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying to, as specified on each course page . Academic departments may use other sources of information on grading standards, eg within your specific subject area, in setting both entry requirements and offer conditions for individual courses. How to use this guidance This guidance is intended as a source of information to help you decide whether your qualifications are likely to offer a suitable background for applying to a graduate course at Oxford, alongside the entry requirements for your specific course. This overview information is offered for the countries from which the University receives a high number of applications and/or queries and does not cover every type of qualification and grading scale which may be considered an acceptable basis for a competitive application to Oxford. There can also be significant complexity and variability within any national system of higher education which can affect how a particular grade is considered, eg differences in grading between institutions. Please note that admissions to Oxford are very competitive and that meeting the minimum entry requirements will not guarantee an offer of a place. The academic department will review your application on the basis of the materials you provide and in relation to other applications to the course. Countries for which guidance is available If guidance for your country is not shown below and you would like to discuss your suitability for a graduate course, contact the academic department using the details provided on the course page .

You should also make sure that you meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying to, as specified on each [course page](https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/courses-a-z-listing). Academic departments may use other sources of information on grading standards, eg within your specific subject area, in setting both entry requirements and offer conditions for individual courses. ## How to use this guidance This guidance is intended as a source of information to help you decide whether your qualifications are likely to offer a suitable background for applying to a graduate course at Oxford, alongside the entry requirements for your specific course. This overview information is offered for the countries from which the University receives a high number of applications and/or queries and does not cover every type of qualification and grading scale which may be considered an acceptable basis for a competitive application to Oxford. There can also be significant complexity and variability within any national system of higher education which can affect how a particular grade is considered, eg differences in grading between institutions. Please note that admissions to Oxford are very competitive and that meeting the minimum entry requirements will not guarantee an offer of a place. The academic department will review your application on the basis of the materials you provide and in relation to other applications to the course. ## Countries for which guidance is available If guidance for your country is not shown below and you would like to discuss your suitability for a graduate course, contact the academic department using the details provided on the [course page](https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/courses-a-z-listing).

You should also make sure that you meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying to, as specified on each [course page](https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/courses-a-z-listing). Academic departments may use other sources of information on grading standards, eg within your specific subject area, in setting both entry requirements and offer conditions for individual courses. How to use this guidance This guidance is intended as a source of information to help you decide whether your qualifications are likely to offer a suitable background for applying to a graduate course at Oxford, alongside the entry requirements for your specific course. This overview information is offered for the countries from which the University receives a high number of applications and/or queries and does not cover every type of qualification and grading scale which may be considered an acceptable basis for a competitive application to Oxford. There can also be significant complexity and variability within any national system of higher education which can affect how a particular grade is considered, eg differences in grading between institutions. Please note that admissions to Oxford are very competitive and that meeting the minimum entry requirements will not guarantee an offer of a place. The academic department will review your application on the basis of the materials you provide and in relation to other applications to the course.
