Access Day for

University of Oxford Access Day for Young Women from State schools in Years 10-12 with Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage

Date: 6 March 2024

Time: 09:30-16:00

Venue: Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and the afternoon at Trinity College, University of Oxford

Trinity College is again collaborating with the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) and Jesus college to offer young women in YR10-12 with Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage an exciting access day. The aim of the day is to encourage students to consider Oxford as one of their future options. Students will have the opportunity to visit the Oxford Centre of Islamic studies, Trinity and Jesus College, experience an academic taster, gain guidance and information relating to courses and admissions and hear from current students with shared identities.

Your students will have the opportunity for discussion with the brightest women in their fields, chat to our current students and potential future mentors.

For the last half of the day, we’ll have an informational talk about applying to Oxford and to explore what you can do with an Oxford degree. We’ll also have informal discussions over tea followed by Q&A with our current undergraduates and society members.
