Student news

Register your place for the Vice-Chancellor's inaugural Sheldonian Series event on Monday 25 November, 6-7pm. Join the conversation with an expert panel to explore 'Democracy: what are its prospects and what role do we as members of our University community play?'

Thank you to all our new students who shared content using #WelcomeToOxford at the start of term. We received some great entries on Instagram and X, and shared our favourites.

The winners will now be contacted to arrange their prizes. Congratulations!

If you're an undergraduate and missed the Bodleian Libraries Welcome Webinar, you can check out the recording, slides and transcript online. 

Postgraduates can access free training sessions on topics including research ethics, academic writing and applying for grants.

If you’re new to Oxford, get your student life underway by using #WelcomeToOxford to connect with other new students when you arrive, and to let us know how you’re getting on!

Our five favourite posts will each win an Oxford University hoodie worth £55!

Follow these steps to be in with a chance of winning:
