Schools and Colleges Outreach

We work with bright students and their teachers, offering information, advice and guidance on what top universities, including Oxford, are like, what such an education offers, and how the application process works. We’re committed to empowering young people to make the right decisions about their future for themselves, as well as giving students access to the very best opportunities.

Are you in our link region?

The Outreach Team at St Edmund Hall is the point of contact for schools in our link regions in the East Midlands as listed below, in accordance with Oxford University’s Regional Outreach Strategy. A student’s link region will not affect their chances of making a successful application, with applications from all regions equally welcomed by each college in the University.

Visit Us!

Visiting a University and meeting current students is an excellent way for pupils to learn more about higher education, and enable them to imagine themselves as students in the future. Our school visits are thoughtfully designed for students in KS4 and above to raise educational aspirations, as well as to provide students with the practical tools and insight they need to achieve their goals. You can find out how each element of our programme achieves these aims below.

What will a visit involve?

We offer a curated school visit programme with a range of activities designed to make the most of a day in Oxford, however we are happy to tailor visits to accommodate specific aims and schedules – just get in touch with us using the link on this page. Here is a sample timetable for the day:
