The University of Oxford holds various graduate Open Days throughout the year, usually themed by academic subject area. These offer an opportunity for prospective graduate students to visit Oxford, find out what courses and services are on offer and receive guidance and support on completing an application.

Our first ever Humanities Graduate Open Day offered over 400 visitors the chance to experience mini-lectures with prestigious Oxford academics, take a tour of one of our renowned colleges and speak to current graduate students about life at Oxford.
