In this series aimed at new students at Oxford we offer some insights and advice from current students reflecting on their own experiences at the University. The material will be relevant to all new starters but of particular value to new students from outside the UK.
'Know Your Oxford' is an audio walking tour of the city of Oxford, beginning at historic Carfax Tower and ending at Magdalen Bridge. If you’ve just started studying at Oxford University or you’re thinking about applying, Know Your Oxford will help you to find your feet in the city.
Know Your Oxford is an audio tour of the city of Oxford, beginning at Carfax Tower on the corner of Queen Street and Cornmarket, and ending at Magdalen Bridge. Winding through the historic heart of Oxford, the tour passes by iconic buildings including the Radcliffe Camera and the Sheldonian Theatre, revealing snippets of the city’s long history as it goes.
Your guide is Alex Beukers, a student at the University. Alex opens the door to studying at Oxford, outlining the role of the colleges and departments, giving the inside view on Oxford’s academic dress and ceremonies, and pointing out the museums, libraries and other attractions. The tour also includes practical advice on being a student, with information about the Students’ Union and University services, and where to find shops, supermarkets, and places to eat and drink.
You’ll need to pause the tour as you walk between the different locations. Please note that some references such as current retail names may have changed.
Know Your Oxford was made possible thanks to the Oxford University Innovation Challenges. For further information, see the IT Services website.
