Open Days

Visit the department, meet students and discover what it is like to study Geography at Oxford.

The School participates in the wider Oxford Open Days which take place on two days in late June/July and on one day in mid-September, and there is no need to book for these.

The dates for all the Open Days are posted early in the year on our website, along with other details.

"The range and scope of opportunities here are endless, and all staff of the School are incredibly passionate about both their field and bringing out the best of us as undergraduates."
