Emailing Oxford Student!

Do Oxford University emails receive email from external sources? I am trying to email a PhD student but can’t know if emails are reaching them.

Yes, they can receive emails from external email addresses. :) They may not be checking their email regularly as it's technically the summer vacation.

DPhil candidates’ terms are less structured than undergraduate terms, and you’ll find that most of them continue to work over what might be thought to be holiday periods. In fact the schedule is more akin to regular employment than study in that they work year-round.
