Our Access and Outreach Coordinator works with schools and students from our link regions of Merseyside, the Isle of Man, and London Boroughs Enfield and Waltham Forest to ensure students know more about our university, why it could be for them, and how to get here.

We offer a variety of different programmes and events, ranging from school visits, online and in-person workshops, to subject residentials.

If you are a teacher from our link regions and would like to find out more, please email our Access and Outreach Coordinator, Josephine Glover, and she will add you to our outreach mailing list where opportunities and resources are circulated on a regular basis during term time.

Applications are open for the St Peter’s Engineering Subject Residential (8-10 April 2026). The residential will provide students with an insight into the Engineering course at Oxford through tutorials, lectures, and academic sessions offered by the Engineering Department. Students will also enjoy time to study and explore Oxford, and will be provided with expert guidance on the admissions process.

  • be in Year 12;
  • have GCSE A* or 8/9 in Mathematics and Physics/Dual/Triple Science;
  • study an appropriate combination of A level subjects for entry to the Engineering Science degree at Oxford, for example Maths, Further Maths, and Physics;
