Subject Exploration - 6 - 7 pm GMT, March 7th 2024 - Register Here
This sessions is open to all students interested in applying to Oxford & Cambridge in 2024, but is primarily aimed at students in Year 12 (England & Wales), S5 (Scotland) or Year 13 (Northern Ireland).
Join the Outreach teams from St Catharine's College, Cambridge and Brasenose College, Oxford to talk all things "Subject Exploration" in this webinar. We hear of super-curricular research all the time – and that it can help students gain a fascination for a subject and bolster university applications. But what exactly is a super-curricular activity and how is it done? Find out more in this session which covers where to find inspiration at home, at school, and elsewhere. We will also cover thinking critically and building up intellectual ideas and arguments as well as hear from current students about what they did to explore their subjects before applying to Oxford & Cambridge
The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A session with current students who will be sharing their experiences of Oxbridge and the application process.
