    Half Term Virtual Taster Days

    Sign ups for February half term are now open!

    Oxford University Virtual Taster Day Banner-2

    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 either by signing up as an individual or watching the event alongside the child(ren) in the care.

    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

    We will be hosting two identical events during February half term:

    • Wed 17th February:     Join: 13:45,    Start: 14:00,    Break: 15:00-15:15,     Finish: 16:00
    • Fri 19th February:        Join: 10:15,     Start:10:30,    Break: 11:30-11:45,      Finish: 12:30

     

    If you’re interested in learning more about Oxford and having your questions answered then please sign up using this form: https://oxford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/february-half-term-virtual-taster-day

    Please note that you MUST meet both the following criteria to sign up or your sign up will be void:

    • Be from one the following regions: Barnsley, Brent, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Rotherham, Sheffield, Westminster
    • Attend, work at or be the family member of someone attending a non-selective state school

    Sign up closes at noon on the 16th February. The October events sold out so we recommend you sign up as soon as possible. If you realise you are unable to come then please do let us know so the space can be opened up.

    Details on how to join the event digitally via Microsoft Teams will be shared by email prior to the event. Be ready to join the meeting at 15 minutes prior to the start time.

    You can find a poster for the event here.

     

    “The Live Q&A was useful as it gave me insight from students and professors about what studying at Oxford is like.” – Previous Participant, Y12 Student

    If you have any questions please email the organisers, Olivia and Amy, at outreach@magd.ox.ac.uk.
