B.A Computer Science

The interviews primarily focus on problem-solving and mathematical questions rather than personal statements or extracurricular activities. The interviewers look for proven mathematical talent, the ability to think and work independently, the capacity to absorb and use new ideas, and enthusiasm. They see how you tackle unfamiliar problems and respond to new ideas. They don't expect students to have formal qualifications in computing but do expect a real interest in the subject. Some general topics from the Oxford Computer Science interview are-Questions on knowledge of logarithms and exponentials.Questions on recursions (mathematical or visual-based puzzles) and iterations. Discussion on binary searches and their efficiencyProofs by induction and algebraic references linked to summation formulaeQuestion about automation of human roles by technologyQuestion on security and how to ensure security between two individuals
