What information do I need to complete the application form?
You need to fill the online application form and submit your resume.
Can I still apply for the school after the applocation deadline date?

There is no application fee, however, successful participants will need to pay a registration fee.
Full-time students: £60
Full-time academics: £120
Others: £300
Successful applicants who are employed by/studying in organisations that are based in low-middle-income countries (i.e., any country outside the list shown as "high income" in
this map) will be entitled to a
50% discount for the registration fee.
My application was unsuccessful this year. Why have I not been accepted?
We want to ensure an engaging and diverse audience. OxML participants are selected using a scoring system. The scoring system favours applicants who are graduate students, whose research areas are closer to the scope of the Summer School, and would benefit more from the school.
Do you issue a certificate of completion?
COVID-19 Update (This section will be updated regularly)
The news of COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating to follow — like you, we are also closely following the latest developments on this matter. Of course, our top priority will be the health and safety of the participants, and compliance with public health guidelines. Therefore, it has been decided to host OxML 2021 fully virtual this year.
I've attended the previous edition of the school (OxML 2020). Can I apply again?
If I attend OxML 2021 virtually, will this impact my chances of being accepted for future physical editions of the school?
Can the organisers waive the registration fee?
All successful applicatns are required to pay the registration fee in order to reduce the level of attrition, however, those employed by/studying in organisations that are based in low-middle-income countries (i.e., any country outside the list shown as "high income" in this map) will be entitled to a 50% discount for the registration fee.
