Classified advertising in the Gazette

The Gazette carries only classified advertisements. Display advertisements are published in the Gazette's companion publication, the University's staff magazine, Blueprint.

Official announcements from University departments and the colleges should not be submitted as paid advertisements but should be sent directly to the Gazette (email: gazette@admin.ox.ac.uk; fax: 01865 270178). No charge is made for job vacancy notices from departments and colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. If in doubt, please contact the Gazette.


Copy Deadline

Noon on Wednesday of the week before publication (ie eight days before publication). The Gazette is published weekly throughout the academic year (September to July), but not continuously over the vacations.

It is occasionally necessary to change the deadline. Notice of any change will be given in the printed Gazette and on this website.
