Taking the course 

The University of Oxford is a place where every student should be safe, welcomed and be able to thrive, whatever their background.

If you are eligible to vote in the next general election on Thursday 4 July, ensure you are registered to do so (whether in Oxford or at your UK home address).

On this page you can also check the ways you can vote (in person, postal, or by proxy) and whether you have the correct photo identification ahead of time.

What interested you to sign up to the Colloquium?

As a biologist, climate permeates every aspect of my course – in almost every lecture we learn about another way that our changing climate is affecting the biosphere, and how we as humans will be able to live as part of it. So, when I saw that the Vice Chancellor’s Colloquium would focus on climate change, I knew I needed to apply and take the opportunity to be involved in the discussion.

Littering in Oxford is an increasing issue in the city's green spaces, especially as the weather warms up. This not only spoils these natural spaces for others in our community, but can also cause harm to wildlife. Please play your part as you enjoy the outdoors by binning your rubbish (or taking it home if a bin is full, or there isn't one nearby), especially if you're celebrating after exams.

Impact on wildlife

Social media can bring enormous benefits and opportunities. However, it can also bring significant risks.

The University has existing guidance for students on social media, available for you to familiarise yourself with.

Please contact your college (or your department if you don't have a college) in the first instance if you have any queries.
