English Taster Day

Keble hosts annual Subject Taster Days for prospective students currently in Year 12 at UK state schools and colleges.

We aim to choose students who have a promising academic profile and who will most benefit from the taster days. The College will consider information such as GCSE results and predicted grades, and may consider educational and socio-economic background, using similar categories to the contextual data which is used in the Oxford admissions process. In case of over-subscription the College may also have to limit the number of attendees per school, and prioritise spaces for schools in our link regions. Students should apply independently for a space on a Subject Taster Day: we are unable to accommodate school groups booked by a teacher.

All Subject Taster Days include opportunities to sample academic content related to Oxford courses, meet current students, and receive advice and guidance on the admissions process. Keble reimburses travel expenses for Subject Taster Day attendees.

Please note, applicants for this Taster Day should be studying either English Literature or English Literature & Language at A-Level (or equivalent).

The deadline for applications is midday on Tuesday 27 January.
