Open events and visiting

 Open days Oxford

Come and see us and find out for yourself what Oxford is really like

We hope very much that you will be able to visit during one of our open days, but if this is not possible, you are still welcome to visit the University at anytime. Most colleges are open throughout the year, at least for potential applicants to walk around the grounds. Unfortunately, departments are rarely open to visitors except during open days. If you have questions about a particular college or department you might like to contact them before you visit as it's not always possible to arrange personal meetings, especially during term-time.

Introducing Oxford Talks and Tours

During the UK school holidays of February half term and Easter we offer a programme of talks and tours. Visiting the University through one of these events is an excellent opportunity to learn about our undergraduate courses, the college system and how to apply. Events are scheduled so that you can attend a talk and visit up to two colleges, guided by admissions staff or students. Some departments offer course-specific talks.

The 2013 talks and tours have now past. The 2014 events will be posted in January 2014.
