Come and see us!

Talk to tutors and students, have a look round and make up your own mind about Oxford.

Dates for our 2024 undergraduate Open Days will be announced early next year.

Timetables for events, including college and department timetables are available to view below. Most events are drop in but a few require advance booking.

You are also very welcome to come and visit at another time. College grounds are usually open to prospective applicants but you can also get in touch with the college linked to your region and let them know you are coming.

You may also be able to attend an event listed in our outreach calendar while you're here. Subject departments are not open to visitors except on Open Days or for specific outreach events.

2023 department timetables

Choosing your course is the most important decision you need to make and our Open Days offer a rare opportunity to visit departments and meet tutors and current students, so we recommend prioritising these events.

2023 college timetables

Our colleges are at the heart of student life at Oxford so make sure you visit a good handful whilst you are here. However, do check first they offer the course(s) you are interested in! As well as taking a tour, you will be able to have your questions answered first hand by current students and tutors.

Open Day information centre

Colleges and departments are the best places to find out about studying at Oxford but if you’ve still got questions, or if the event you planned to attend is full, then please come to the Open Day Information Centre in the High Street, where you will find staff from the undergraduate admissions team and student services available all day.
