Welcome to your undergraduate open day!

There’s a lot to pack in to one day so we recommend that you start by visiting a department if you can, and then explore some colleges. Remember that the University of Oxford is made up of colleges, so there is no central campus to explore. If departments are full in the morning, they often run repeat sessions in the afternoons. Various libraries and museums are also open, as well as other venues – full details throughout this guide.

Colleges and departments should be able to answer all your questions about applying to Oxford whether you’re still at school or a mature student; and whether you live in the UK or overseas. They will also be able to advise you on the support available if you have a disability, or if you are a care leaver. If you have any further questions, or you need specialist advice, please do come to the Open Day Information Centre on the High Street (see p10, and map ref: ).

Disabled Students If you can, please let colleges and departments know in advance if you have mobility or other special needs. If you’d like us to coordinate this for you, please email [email protected] or call +44 (0)1865 288000. Staff from our Disability Advisory Service will be available in the Open Day Information Centre to discuss all the support that’s available to you. Please see p10 for details.

If you have downloaded this guide in advance and would like to see if places are still available for college or department events which require booking, please visit: www.ox.ac.uk/opendays

2| 1 and 2 July 2015

Visiting Colleges

If you study here you will belong to a college. The tutors in colleges interview the candidates who apply, and when you are a student they oversee your studies and teach you in tutorials. Your college will be the place you meet your first friends; it will provide you with accommodation, meals, welfare support and much much more. In addition to attending any pre-booked college programme, you are welcome to visit colleges at the times shown over the next few pages. Current undergraduates will be happy to show you round and answer any questions you may have about studying here and about student life at their college. Some colleges also offer the opportunity to attend talks and to meet subject tutors on a drop-in basis. However, please be aware that many tutors are dividing their time between departments and colleges during the open days and their availability cannot be guaranteed. Please look out for further details posted within the colleges or ask staff or students for more information at the time of your visit. If events become full, priority will be given to potential applicants.

But how do I choose? During your time here (or if possible in advance) try to draw up a shortlist of colleges to visit. To do this, first check which colleges offer your course:

Look on our website at www.ox.ac.uk/collegechoice See p130–131 in our undergraduate prospectus

You might also like to consider:

The size of the college The location of the college (Is it in the heart of the city centre or a few minutes away? Is it near your department building, the park, the river or the swimming pool?) How old or new it is

Don’t worry if, after doing this, you still find you have no strong preference. Visiting any of the colleges will give you a good idea of how the college system works. An increasing number of students make an ‘open’ application. This means that they don’t express a college preference on their UCAS form and the University allocates the college which will consider them.

Did you know that around 33% of offers are from a college the student did not apply to (this includes open applications)?

|3 Exeter When: 09.30–16.30 Last tour at 16.00 In addition to the events listed below, tours are available 13.00–13.35: Talk and Q&A at all colleges throughout both open days except where for prospective students stated.

If Booking advisable for talks but spaces may be available events become full, priority will be given to prospective students. on the day www.exeter.ox.ac.uk The number before each college is the map reference.
