Virtual BAME Humanities Study Day 2021
The 2021 study day is now open for applications!
Get the chance to explore what it is like to apply for and study a humanities degree at Oxford University. This virtual study day is for Year 12 students from UK State Schools who have Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic (BAME) Heritage. The event will take place live via Microsoft Teams on the 8th April from 10:00-14:30.
The day will open with an introduction to the University of Oxford followed by the opportunity to attend two humanities subject lectures. You will also learn more about the Oxford application process with a focus on subject specific admissions tests. The day will conclude with a live Q&A where you will have the opportunity to ask your questions to current Oxford students from BAME backgrounds. View our event poster here.

- First Lecture Session: History, Oriental Studies, Music or Philosophy
