as indicated in "graduate studies in international relations", decisions on graduate admissions are in the first instance made at university level, by the international relations graduate studies committee (which is within the department of politics and international relations), and not by colleges or teachers acting individually. We get around seven applications per place so you would be well advised to apply to other universities as well as oxford.
Regarding supervision, it is very difficult to state in advance who might supervise particular applicants if they were to be accepted. The important thing in any application is to indicate clearly your area or areas of interest (and also, if you wish, the name of any individual who you think might be appropriate to supervise in such areas). You will appreciate that it is often hard for busy teachers to engage in correspondence etc. With applicants. You should include all you want to tell us in your application, including a cv of up to two pages, and send it to the graduate admissions office.
The next deadline for applications will be 23 january 2009. Please note that applications can also be submitted online. An application fee of £25 will apply to all applications.
