Oxford Regional Teachers' Conferences
Teacher at Regional Teachers' Conference 2012As a 'complete beginner' I can honestly say that the conference has been extremely valuable and inspirational. I feel very confident and enthusiastic about encouraging students from Yr 7 onwards to aim as high as possible and make the most of their talents / educational opportunities
The University organises several Regional Teachers’ Conferences across the UK in June and July each year. The aim of the conferences are to equip teachers with the best possible advice for their students on applying to Oxford and to break down any misconceptions that might deter students from applying to the University. Funded by the Helsington Foundation, the programme for the days covers all aspects of the admissions process from identifying candidates to writing references and preparing candidates for admissions tests and interviews.
The conferences are organised by Oxford’s Undergraduate Admissions Office, and sessions are led by academic tutors and central admissions staff, all with extensive first-hand knowledge of the admissions processes. There will also be current undergraduate students who are able to talk about their own experiences of applying and mock interview sessions in which tutors and students demonstrate the kind of questions applicants face in interviews.
