Dear Madams or Sirs,

I am writing to solicit the information about the Master of Arts (MA) at the University of Oxford.

In accordance with the regulation at Oxford, the MA indicates the level of seniority at Oxford and may be conferred upon matriculated students 21 terms (7 years) after the matriculation. Matriculated students who have completed the Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) are eligible to apply for the MA.

I have two questions:

First, are matriculated students in pursuit of the Bachelor of Theology (BTh) eligible for the MA after completing the degree and 21 terms after the matriculation?

Secondly, are matriculated students enrolled on the Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) or Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) at the postgraduate level eligible for the MA after completing the degree and 21 terms after the matriculation?

I am eagerly awaiting your timely response to my questions.

Yours faithfully,
Arthur Cavendish
