    Leaving Oxford? Pick up your alumni card at the leavers pop-up

    If you didn’t make it to the alumni leavers fair at Oxford Town Hall last week to collect your Alumni Card, don’t worry. The Alumni Office is holding a ‘pop-up’ event on Tuesday 25 June and Thursday 27 June from 9am-5pm in the Norrington Room of Blackwell's Bookshop on Broad Street. 

    If you’re still around in Oxford on these dates, why not come pick up your card and ask the alumni team any questions you may have. You can also find out about the many benefits you get - Blackwell’s offers a 15% discount, so you can bag that one straightaway.

    University and College Fees to be combined from next year

    If you’re a graduate student or international undergraduate, the way your fees are charged and presented will change from the next academic year.

    Until this year, international undergraduates and graduate students have been charged separate ‘University’ and ‘College’ fees. From the 2019/20 academic year, these figures will be combined into a single figure, known as  ‘Course Fees’.

    The total amount you pay will not change (apart from inflation), and the change will make it easier to see the overall level of fees you will be paying.

    Student blog: Mikaiil shares his experience of the Careers Service

    As I approached the summer vacation, it became increasingly apparent that I had nothing productive in plan for the three months I had free. Having seen the consistent email reminders that the Careers Service was always open to help, and with no CV, cover letter, or even any idea what kind of work I'd want to do, I decided to give it a shot. A short 30-minute session is all I booked just to see what exactly they could do to help. If I didn't like it there was no commitment to come back for another session, so why not?
