2025 Opportunity Oxford residential welcomes new undergraduates
This September we welcomed incoming students to Oxford and to SoGE for the 2025 Opportunity Oxford (Oppox) residential.
Oppox is an academic programme that helps prepare talented UK offer-holders from under-represented backgrounds for successful student careers at the University of Oxford. This September, a group of incoming undergraduate students spent two weeks staying in a college and experiencing elements of our BA Geography course, with social outings, taster lectures and fieldwork trips helping them prepare for all aspects of life at university.
"It's been a mini Oxford experience...less stressful now I'll start in October and already know so many people"
Since 2020 the University has made more than 1,000 offers with a place on the Opportunity Oxford programme, and a further 1,500 offer holders have been invited to take part in the OppOx Digital programme.
"One of the key points I've taken from these two weeks is Aal human geography can be physical, and all physical geography can be human"
Watch our video below in which students discuss what they’ve learned and how the programme has helped them feel more at ease with the transition to higher education.
