10. Student Support and Academic Policies

10.5. Buddy System

The Buddy System is a departmental initiative to connect MSc students with a Part C student over the summer before the start of the academic year. We have aimed to make these pairings based on colleges, and where possible, academic interests.

Towards the end of the summer preceding the start of the course, we will pass on the college email of Part C buddies to the incoming OMMS students. The purpose of the system is to help integrate new students, as well as create community between MSc and Part C students. MSc students are welcome to email their Part C buddy before their arrival with any questions they may have about Oxford and the course.
