Oxford Pathways Programme
Corpus is pleased to be able to collaborate with other colleges in Oxford on the Pathways Programme, a series of events for students in years 10-13 at state schools in the UK. The programme includes Taster Days (Year 10), Investigating Options Days (Year 11), and Study Days (Year 12). The events provide information and advice to students who have the potential to achieve Oxford's entry requirements. If you have any questions about the programme, please contact the Pathways Coordinators.
Subject Ambassadors
The College has recently appointed student ambassadors in each of the principal subject areas. These students, as well as attending each of the Open Days and assisting during the admissions period, act as ambassadors for the College and for their subject in developing relationships with schools and potential candidates, under the guidance of the College's Access and Admissions Officer. Our subject ambassadors regularly participate in school visits, offering a Q&A session and/or tours of the College, and assist in providing prospective students with information on their experience of higher education and the University of Oxford. To find out more about each of our Subject Ambassadors, visit our Subject Ambassadors page.
Open Days
The best way for prospective students to visit Corpus is to attend one of our three Open Days.
