Undergraduate Open Days

Mathematical Institute Open Days 2012

Saturday 28th April and Saturday 5th May (Completed)

The April and May open days take place largely in the department with events there finishing by around 3pm. Note that registration with the department is necessary to attend either day. Those interested in the joint degree with Computer Science should attend the May 5th open day when there are also talks in the afternoon at the Department of Computer Science.

Two schedules of talks will run during each day separated by 45 minutes. (The first talk on schedule 1 begins at 10.30, and at 11.15 for schedule 2.) There are 260 places available on each day, with 130 places per schedule. The talks are somewhat academic in flavour, and aimed at students. Teachers and parents are also welcome, but because of the demand for places on the day we limit numbers to one non-student per student.

Programmes of talks for this year (as a DOC or PDF) are now available:

Registration for the 2013 Departmental open days will open in early 2013.

Wednesday 27th June, Thursday 28th June and Friday 14th September

The June and September open days take place in both the colleges and department. The college open days largely take place in the morning. The department does not require registration but you may need to register if you want to attend a college open day. More information can be found on the Admissions open days webpages. 
There is a short series of talks 10.30-12.00 in the department in the morning which is repeated again in the afternoon 14.30-16.00 so that visitors can also spend half the day at one of the many college open days also running. There are also seperate one-off talks at 14.00 for those interested in the Joint Degrees with Philosophy or Statistics. The talks in the department are written with students in mind, but are also suitable for parents and teachers. In the event, though, of the lecture rooms becoming overfull priority will be given to prospective students.
So for the June  and September open days we would recommend that either (i) you register to attend a college open day in the morning and attend the departmental talks in the afternoon, or (ii) attend the departmental talks in the morning and tour some of the colleges (which will still be open with enquiry desks) in the afternoon.
Also at the June and September open days the Admissions Office will be running a set of talks at the Examination Schools on the High Street, which may be of particular interest to international students, students with disabilities or those with questions about careers and/or finance. Full details are given in the Admissions Office's Open Day Guide and it should be possible during the day to arrange visits to both a college and the department. 
You DO NOT NEED to book a place with the department to attend this day, but DO NEED to book into any college open day running on these days (see college open days for further information).
This year's programme of talks are now available:

If you have any enquiries please email opendays [-at-] maths [dot] ox [dot] ac [dot] uk or ring 01865 615205.

 

Travel Information

Oxford is within easy reach via road and rail from a number of places. See guidance on travel to the department. 

We strongly recommended that you use public transport, if at all possible. If you do travel by car, please note that parking in the city centre is very limited.  There are several Park & Ride bus services which run from car parks on the outskirts of Oxford. Drivers coming from the east, including London, the south and the west are advised to use the Redbridge Park & Ride, while drivers arriving from the north can choose between Pear Tree and Water Eaton. Please avoid both the Thornhill and Seacourt Park & Rides which are often full.
