Introduction to the Visiting Student Programme (VSP) of the University of Oxford

The University of Oxford's Visiting Student Programme, organized by the Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute (OPGDI), aims to provide outstanding students worldwide with the opportunity to deeply understand Oxford's academic atmosphere and cultural environment. Students selected for the VSP programme have equal rights as Oxford undergraduates and become lifelong alumni of the Oxford colleges they studied at upon completion of their studies.

The University of Oxford emphasizes on tutorial-based instruction and lectures, focusing on tailoring personalized educational programmes to provide high-quality academic support for students. The VSP places emphasis on applicants' study plans and academic abilities. Applicants are required to have a minimum GPA of 3.7, an IELTS score of 7.0/TOEFL score of 100, and provide English application materials including a personal statement and two academic writing samples. Students from the CUHK-Shenzhen are not required to provide English language proficiency scores such as IELTS or TOEFL during the application process (though certain Oxford University colleges may request language proficiency scores during later stages of the application review process).
