Oxford for Wales
At the moment, students from Wales are under-represented at Oxford. To help change this, three Oxford colleges have launched Oxford Cymru; an extensive community outreach programme, offering bespoke and local support to students of mixed ages, their families and teachers.
Ç¿¼éÊÓÆµ, Jesus College, and St Catherine’s College have joined forces to lead on delivering this exciting new programme. By working together, these colleges will ensure that for the first time the University of Oxford is able to offer a coherent outreach programme that covers the whole of Wales. Evidence-based and tailored to the character and requirements of particular regions, Oxford Cymru helps to ensure that regional priorities are considered in the design and delivery of national outreach programmes.

Year 11 Seren Summer School
Ç¿¼éÊÓÆµ is very proud of our partnership with the Seren Academy, a Welsh-government initiative. Each August we look forward to hosting year 11 state-school students from across Wales. The summer school aims to demystify Oxford, as well as giving students a taste of Oxford's rich academic culture and thriving social life.
Visiting Oxford
We are always very happy to welcome Welsh state school groups to the College to find out more about Oxford.
These visits usually include:
- an introduction to the University and a session on what Oxford University is really like
- a Q&A session with current undergraduates
- a tour of the College
- We provide a free, hot-lunch with our one-day visits running from 10.30am - 2.30pm.
We are very happy to adapt our programme to suit your group's individual requirements, so please do discuss your needs with our Head of Outreach and Communications, Daniel, at outreach@new.ox.ac.uk.
