    Long term plans outlined for University student services and Oxford SU space

    University student services will be consolidated into a single student hub in Wellington Square from 2026, while Oxford SU will move to a new home in the Exam Schools.

    The plans are part of a wider project to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of central University space, support collaboration and free up funding to support essential services.

    Student Stories: Diversifying sport at Oxford

    The Journey so far

    Oxford is actually my hometown(!), though I did my undergrad in London. I am a bit of a sports fanatic, (both as an athlete and a fan!), playing in the GB student korfball team, and five University sports teams during my time here, as well as dabbling in college rowing and long-distance marathon running. I was also lucky enough to volunteer at both the men’s Euros 2020, and women’s Euros 2022.

    The journey so far

    I grew up and went to school in Gawler, South Australia. I was awarded a Tuckwell Scholarship to attend the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra where I completed a Bachelor of Philosophy – Science with Honours in Medical Research. I am part-way through completing a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery at the ANU Medical School, however I was selected as the 2021 Rhodes Scholar for South Australia which led to me taking leave from medical school to study at the University of Oxford.
