I am having difficulty deciding on which field seminar and which topical seminar to take: can you help me choose?

The main criterion is that you should have a strong interest in the field and have seom foundation in the field.  Most students find they work more intensely than they ever have done before, and to sustain that level of effort it is important to have a real interest in the subject matter.  You might like to choose seminars not available at your home university, or ones which depend on the greater library resources in Oxford compared with your home university.  It often works well to build on topics you have particularly enjoyed at your home university and would like to follow in more depth.  Make sure prior to coming to Oxford that your tutorials give you the credits you need.
