Joining the alumni community: next steps for students leaving Oxford.

Alumni graphic

Welcome

Leaving Oxford marks the beginning of a new chapter and the start of a lifelong connection with the University. Oxford’s global alumni community brings together people working across an extraordinary range of fields, united by their shared experience of the University and their contributions to the world.

The transition from student to alumnus takes many different forms, from starting a career or pursuing further study to travelling, entrepreneurship and public service. Recent graduates continue to find new ways to build on their Oxford experience, maintain connections and engage with the University throughout their lives.

The Leavers’ Fair provides an opportunity to explore the resources, networks and services available beyond graduation. Careers also continues to support leavers as they navigate their careers and consider their next steps.

How one recent graduate navigated her first few years as an alumna.

'I think a lot of people really want to do something meaningful but get het up with what this should look like and how they do it. My advice is to just find something you're passionate about.'
