Interested and qualified? Go to OxBright on www.oxbright.org to apply

There are three parts to the essay:

  • Essay title: the title of your essay can be up to 100 characters long, including spaces
  • Essay: your essay can have up to 3,800 characters, including spaces (this is about 500 words). This includes everything you write, like the main text and in-text citations. In-text citations are little notes you put in your essay to show where your information came from. For example, if you quote something from a book by John Smith, you will add (Smith, 2010, p. 50) right after the quote. These citations are part of your word count, so make sure to include them.
  • References: as for references, there’s no word limit – you can include as many as you need! These are important for showing where your information came from.Use the Harvard Referencing Style for your references (you can find how to do this in the guidelines provided here). This won’t count towards your essay character limit, so list all the sources you used.
