College timetables
Visiting colleges is a great way to get an understanding of what sets Oxford apart from other universities.
On this page are the college programmes for the September 2025 Open Day. If events become full, priority is given to prospective students.

Timetables
Talks and Q&A's
Admissions talk/Q&A: These talks will cover the application process and what factors admissions tutors take into account during the selection process. This is likely to include advice on choosing a college.
Life at ‘this college’ talk: These talks may cover tutorials, which take place within colleges, but will probably focus on the non-academic side to student life. They are likely to include information on facilities, support and welfare networks and clubs and societies. They may also talk about the accommodation and meals provided by the college.
Meet the tutors: Your opportunity to meet tutors in your chosen subject, and ask them questions about the course in an informal setting.
Subject sessions: These sessions are offered by some colleges, and will usually be a short talk about a particular course delivered by a tutor, with an opportunity to ask questions.
Meet the students: Your opportunity to speak to current students, who will be able to answer questions on student life, provide information about their college or course and share their experiences.
Families, supporters and teachers talk/Q&A: These often run alongside events which are only available to prospective students. They will cover topics that are often of concern to supporters, such as welfare support, finances and accommodation, as well as information on admissions.
