Half Term Virtual Taster Day
We are now welcoming sign ups for October Half Term 2020.
Magdalen College is pleased to run our half term virtual outreach event aimed at Y10, Y11 and Y12 students and teachers from state-run schools in the following regions: Barnsley, Brent, Nottinghamshire, Rotherham, Sheffield and Westminster. Parents/family members/carers of applicants are also welcome to join.
The event will begin with an ‘Introduction to Oxford’ session by an outreach officer, a virtual tour of Magdalen college and a session on applying to Oxford. This will be followed by a live Q&A with a panel of current students, outreach officers and academics from Magdalen College. You’ll also receive follow up support in the form of various resources we have available.
“I think this was perfect. Very impressed. The time given to Q&A (which is often short in non-virtual events) particularly was really useful.” – Previous Participant, Teacher
