College Open Days
College open days give you the opportunity to get a sense of what College life is like and to pick up a wide range of useful information. They cover all subjects offered by the College unless otherwise indicated.
The Admissions Tutor will usually introduce the College and you’ll be shown around the grounds and facilities, probably by some of the students. Directors of Studies will discuss the University’s courses and the College supervision system, and outline any specific admissions requirements that the College might have.
College Tours
In addition to the individual Colleges' open days, there are a series of College Tours. These are open to students in Year 12 (or equivalent) and up to two accompanying parents/supporters per student. On the day, you'll attend a talk on applying to the University before having a guided tour of one or two Colleges. In most cases these events run 2.00pm to 4.00pm, with registration from 1.30pm.
Advance booking is essential for the College Tours – follow the link given in the table below for the event you're interested in. Please note that the College Tours are only open to individual students – to arrange a visit for a school group, you should contact the relevant area link College.
