Students recently visited the colleges of Oxford University for their annual open day finding all about life as an undergraduate including information about halls, sample lectures, interviews and listening to the student ambassadors talk enthusiastically about a range of courses. 

The visit provided a really insightful experience which will help our students in their progression planning and thinking about the next step after college.  It was an exhausting but thrilling 6 hour tour of many famous colleges and faculty centres.
