Mansfield College, Oxford Open Day

Last week, students had the opportunity to attend an open day at Mansfield College, Oxford, where they gained a valuable insight into life at one of the world's leading universities.

The visit provided students with a taster of studying at Oxford, including attending a supervision-style session where they shared ideas and thoughts, as well as watching a mock interview between a current student and their tutor. Staff also received advice on how to best support students in their applications to Oxford.

The experience offered both students and staff a unique perspective on Oxford’s academic environment, allowing students to engage in discussions, experience the tutorial system, and explore the beautiful college setting.

Student Anastasia Papazeti reflected on the visit, saying, "The whole experience was so insightful, and it allowed me to experience what life would be like studying at Oxford. Speaking to current students there has motivated me to aim high and work hard to reach my goals."

The visit inspired students to consider their future academic ambitions, equipping them with the knowledge and motivation to pursue their goals.
