Oxford Hack is the University’s biggest student hackathon and is returning this year on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November. The free event invites student teams from all disciplines to build a brilliant technical product - be it an app, website, game, or anything else you can imagine together, in 24 hours.

It’s a great opportunity to challenge yourself and make something to change the world, through social good, climate protection, or just making people smile. There will be awards, sponsor-led workshops, and mentors if you need a hand.

From 14 January 2020, ten of the current Graduate (GSO) forms will be replaced with online applications, digitised approvals and workflows, making life easier for students, academics and administrative staff alike. 

By using this user-friendly and fully secure system, graduate students will be able to complete and track the progress of applications easily and efficiently.  All applications will be stored in one place, and applications can be accessed and approved wherever you are, as long as you have web access, via eVision or Student Self Service. 

The University is continuing its Oxford Against Sexual Violence campaign for a second year, highlighting that sexual harassment and violence is never acceptable.

The campaign launched in October 2018 as a collaboration between the University and Oxford SU, to mark the launch of the Sexual Harassment and Violence Support Service.
