The Oxford Open Day on Thursday 28th June 2024 is a really fantastic opportunity for pupils who are interested in finding out more about the courses on offer, the style of tuition and the application process. All of the Colleges and, particularly, all of the academic departments are open to prospective students. A group of Year 12 and Year 10 pupils made the most of the day to find out more about life as a student at Oxford.
To get the most out of the visit, pupils chose the sessions they wanted to attend, joined subject talks, met current students, lecturers and tutors, and visited labs, lecture theatres and seminar rooms. They also had the opportunity to visit the Colleges, go on tours and have a chat with the students who currently live at the College.
“It is a truly inspirational environment that advocates academic enrichment. It was great to be surrounded by people of equal ambition that all had a love for the same field, in my case Engineering. I loved seeing all the architecture and the colleges were not at all shy of beautiful.”
Year 12
“Our trip to The University of Oxford was extremely enjoyable . I got to speak to current students and also tutors who were able to provide better insight into courses, student life and the university experience as a whole, than what I could get from the internet. From the students, I got motivation and inspiration and from the tutors, the confidence I need to choose the course that’s right for me.” Year 12
“I listened to a law talk and spoke to a student who reads PPE which was very informative. All of the colleges were beautiful to look around.”
