Open Days
Our Open Days give prospective undergraduates the opportunity to visit the department, meet students and discover what it is like to study Geography at Oxford.
Our main Geography Open Day this year was on 15th June 2026. The School also participates in the wider Oxford Open Days on 1st and 2nd July and 18th September - there is no need to book for these.
