Departmental Open Days – Saturday 22 April (in-person), Saturday 29 April (virtual)
In April we are running two Mathematics-specific open days, with one in-person event and one virtual event. We hope that by running one open day in-person and one open day online, we are able accommodate as many people as possible from across the country and around the world.
Registration is necessary for the in-person open day on 22 April, and links to registration forms can be found in the table below. To maximise capacity on the in-person day, three separate streams will run. All three streams include talks of interest to those applying for Mathematics or Mathematics & Statistics. Exactly one of the streams includes talks of interest to those applying for Mathematics & Computer Science. The talks are somewhat academic in flavour, and aimed at students. We ask that you please only book a place for an accompanying teacher/parent/guardian if you have an access need.

Travel Information
Oxford is within easy reach via road and rail from a number of places. See guidance on travel to the department for a location map.
We strongly recommended that you use public transport, if at all possible. If you do travel by car, please note that there is no parking available at the Mathematical Institute and 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. Where possible, we advise parking at Pear Tree and taking the number 300 bus which stops opposite the entrance to the Mathematical Institute on Woodstock Road.
Please be aware…
During your visit to Oxford you may see third-party organisations handing out leaflets in the street, claiming to offer advice on the application process. Please be warned that these businesses are not affiliated with the University of Oxford, and they may charge for their services. We encourage you to take advantage of the many free opportunities and resources provided by the University and the departments (such as those on our MAT page).
