MMathPhys/MSc in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Handbook (2025-26 Entry)

1.4 Buddy System

All MSc students will be buddied by an internal 4th year MMathPhys student, who has transferred from MMath/MPhys or MMathPhil undergraudate at Oxford, to help integrate the MSc students to the university and department. We try to pair people from the same college, or a nearby college though this is not always possible. MSc students will receive their buddy’s college e-mail address and they can arrange to meet and seek advice about aspects of student life which interest them such as exams, social events or courses.
