There is wide range of information and support available digitally, and we regularly run sessions online with schools throughout the year. We also run sessions that students in Year 12 and 13 can attend as individuals (e.g. Admissions Tests and Interview Skills Workshops). If you would like to join our mailing list for updates on these, please contact [email protected].

KS5 Application Support

There is a huge wealth of support available online for students applying to Oxford, through the main University pages, departments and College sites. 

Oxford for North East also offer a series of online workshops and activities:

  • Year 13 Admissions Test Workshops - 3 online workshops in September/October to support students in preparing for the range of admissions tests used by Oxford, and where to go for further resources and support.
  • Year 13 Interview Skills Workshops - run in collaboration with Cambridge, these workshops clarify the interview process and encourage interaction with student ambassadors to answer sample interview questions.

Academic Taster Sessions

The Oxford for North East colleges have been organising a range of live and pre-recorded academic taster sessions over the last few years. Sign up to our mailing list and newsletters to stay up to date with more upcoming events, or get in contact if you would like to arrange a taster session in a specific subject for your school.

Some of the Faculties and Departments across the University of Oxford may also be offering subject-specific events in the region for your school during the year.

Chat with Christ Church Students

You can also contact our Student Ambassadors at any point on our individual college chat platforms. Want to know how students balance their workload? Whether there's time to go out? Or what it's like living away from home - potentially for the first time? They will be more than happy to answer your questions: Christ Church

Discover Computer Science - A Computer Science/Christ Church Outreach Initiative

Discover Computer Science is a sustained engagement programme which currently has four online sessions that will offer students in-depth investigations of topic areas outside of the school curriculum, combining mathematical and computing theory with interactive exploration.

The final day of the programme will be an in-person graduation day held in Oxford. The participants will be invited to bring a parent/carer to accompany them on the day. Sessions designed to support students in their progression to university — for example, in supporting A-Level choice — will also form part of the programme alongside the academic elements. There will also be a careers panel talk with Computer Science alumni during the programme and a chance to meet current students.  More information can be found here.
