Open Days & Visiting the College

St Hugh’s Open Days

Our 2025 Open Days will be held on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd July, and on Friday 19th September.

Our full programme for the July Open Days will be released later this month.

You are very welcome to come and visit at another time. Our College grounds are usually open to prospective applicants for a self-guided tour, but you can also get in touch with our Outreach Team at outreach@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk to arrange a guided tour if you would like!

Subject departments are not open to visitors except on Open Days or for specific outreach events.

 

Each day will include:

 

Buffet Lunch in Maplethorpe Hall between 12.00pm – 2.30pm


Workshops will be available between 12.30pm and 4.00pm, to help you with preparing for the interviews, admissions tests, and writing your personal statements – no booking required!


Individual Tours of the College with current students will be available all day between 9.00am and 6.00pm.


Meeting the Subject Tutors

Our Tutors will be available between 1.30pm – 2.00pm each day to meet prospective students, and talk through any questions you might have!

Planning your Open Day

1
Choosing a Course

Choosing a course is a really important decision, and the Open Days are a really good opportunity to visit departments. A good idea is to read about the courses you’re interested in before you come to Oxford and then work out which events to attend at which department.

Travel

Department Timetables
