Student news

The University has established the Student Racial and Religious Inclusion Task and Finish Group in recognition of recent global and national developments.

Oxford SU will lead student consultations to ensure your experiences, perspectives, and ideas inform this work.

The group supports the University’s commitment to fostering a culture of belonging and addressing all forms of racial and religious discrimination.

Dear students,

Happy New Year from the wonderful surroundings of the Weston Library’s ‘floating stacks’ above Blackwell Hall. A place that supports our academic mission of research and teaching as well as allowing the public to enjoy our outstanding collections through the various exhibitions our wonderful staff curate.

I do hope that you have had some time to rest and recharge over the Christmas break and are ready for the new term - I know I certainly am.

This year the Office for Students (OfS) will run a sexual misconduct survey that will be distributed alongside the National Student Survey (NSS)

Dear students,

Welcome to the beautiful Hall of Christ Church College.

As Michaelmas term and 2024 draw to a close, I would like to take a moment to thank each of you for your many contributions, hard work and dedication to Oxford. My role as your Vice-Chancellor continues to be such a privilege, and I have so enjoyed meeting many of you in your colleges, departments, at events, and during our dog walks.

My name is Lucy Meurer. I am a third-year American visiting student reading English Literature at Worcester College for the 2024-2025 academic year. Back home, I’m pursuing an undergraduate degree in English Literature at Union University, specializing in Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance studies, alongside Philosophy.

I am a 4^th year DPhil in Psychiatry student at Linacre College. I was raised in Sandy, a small town north of London, and attained my first degree in Psychology at King’s College London. I’m biracial, my father was born and raised in Jamaica and my mother is British, and I was one of the first scholars on the Black Academic Futures scholarship.
