1. Key Timeline for Oxford Interviews 2023 | 2023牛津面试关键时间线
For 2023 entry, Oxford interviews were concentrated between 4 December and 14 December 2023. In the previous cycle, the equivalent window was 5 December to 15 December. Cambridge sent interview invitations throughout November and held interviews in December.
2023年入学申请季，牛津面试集中安排在 2023 年 12 月 4 日至 12 月 14 日。上一申请季（2022年）的对应时间窗口为 12 月 5 日至 12 月 15 日。剑桥则在 11 月陆续发放面试邀请，12 月正式面试。
Different courses and colleges may schedule interviews on different days within that period. Some candidates may have more than one interview, and some may be asked to attend a second interview with a different college.
不同专业和学院可能在该时间段内的不同日期安排面试。部分申请者可能有多场面试，也可能被安排与另一所学院进行第二场面试。
Offers are usually released in January. Oxford typically announces decisions in early to mid-January, while Cambridge colleges release decisions in late January.
录取结果通常在 1 月公布。牛津一般在 1 月上中旬放榜，剑桥各学院则在 1 月下旬公布结果。
2. Interview Invitations and What They Contain | 面邀发放与面试邀请内容
Cambridge sends interview invitations gradually from November. Oxford also sends invitations in late November or early December, depending on the course. The invitation is not a formality; it contains essential logistical details.
剑桥从 11 月起陆续发放面试邀请。牛津也会在 11 月下旬或 12 月初根据专业发放邀请。面邀并非形式通知，其中包含关键安排信息。
Read the invitation carefully. It normally states the date, time zone, platform, meeting link, interviewer names, and any materials you must prepare. It may also ask you to confirm attendance or complete a technical test beforehand.
请仔细阅读面邀。它通常会写明日期、时区、平台、会议链接、面试官姓名以及需要准备的材料。面邀还可能要求你确认出席或提前完成技术测试。
Check your spam folder regularly. If you do not receive an invitation by early December, contact the admissions office rather than waiting.
请定期检查垃圾邮件文件夹。如果到 12 月初仍未收到面邀，应主动联系招生办公室，而不是继续等待。

除英国本土学生外，2023 年大多数申请者均采用线上方式面试。牛津官方使用 Microsoft Teams。剑桥则使用 Zoom、Whereby 或各学院自行选择的其他平台。

具体平台由各学院在面邀中注明。不要假设所有学院使用同一系统。面试前应下载或测试相应软件。
Some UK-based candidates may still be invited to attend in person. International candidates should prepare for online interviews unless their invitation clearly states otherwise.
部分英国本土申请者仍可能被邀请线下面试。国际申请者除非面邀明确说明，否则应按线上面试准备。
