Student news

We’re asking everyone to be considerate and respectful this term, to give students the best chance in their assessments.

We ask you to keep noise to an absolute minimum on weekdays from 9am to 6pm until Friday 21 June, as even if you have finished, other students will still be sitting their exams. 

Exam venues

“On Monday 6 May, everyone is encouraged to enter this mass participation mile taking place along Oxford’s High Street. Think of it like a London Marathon style event, but through the beautiful streets of Oxford, finishing on Iffley Road at the site where Roger Bannister made history 70 years ago.”

Tom studied for his undergraduate degree at Oxford and has remained here ever since, playing an active part in the University’s Cross Country and Athletics Clubs.

• Workshop: Join the Trinity term Managing Sleep and Insomnia Workshop - Monday 6 May, 2.30–3.30pm, in person at Student Welfare and Support Services, 3 Worcester Street.

Time is running out for final-year undergraduates to have your say in this year's National Student Survey. Please take the time to complete it before you head off for the Easter vacation.

We’re really keen that your feedback about your total Oxford experience is captured, so the University and colleges can make changes for future students.

How do I take part?

This weekend (Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 March) between 10pm and 8am, access through the current temporary walkway on Botley Road will be intermittently closed.

The closure is to allow Network Rail to safely remove the footbridge from across the road, as part of the ongoing redevelopment of Oxford Station. Alternative routes and travel will be signposted by marshals in the area.

The University of Oxford has today published its annual reports for the Student Welfare and Support Services (SWSS), detailing the use of these services in the academic year 2022/23. SWSS provides specialist and professional welfare services to all students across the collegiate University working closely with college welfare teams. These include the University’s Counselling, Disability Advisory, Sexual Harassment and Violence Support and Peer Support Services, which provide information, confidential advice and support, and training.

It’s February – where are you and what’s going on for you?

The new year is still in its early stages, which makes me super excited about all that is to come. I have a lot of fresh ideas and plans for philanthropy, so I'm currently concentrating on all the ways I'll be contributing to creating impact in those spaces throughout 2024. My mantra this year is to strengthen my strengths.

I have pondered upon the notion of success incessantly, consciously or otherwise, from a young age. Like most of the people who will read this, academic success formed my early notion of success. I remember my father telling me from a young age that ‘nothing worth having in life came easy’ as he simultaneously congratulated my 90% mark on a year 5 test and reminded me that there was 10% still to be found somewhere. That notion of success as the degree of achievement is perhaps an intuitive thing. It’s quite a nice belief to have as well.
