Advice for parents and carers
ANDPARENTS
27FOR
Parents and carers are very welcome to our Open Days. We know that many of you will have had to
take a day off work or travel a long distance to be here today so we hope the advice below helps you
ADVICE
make the most of your time here in Oxford.
– We run a variety of talks covering topics we think will be
of particular interest to you. These include talks in the Open
Day Information Centre about supporting an applicant and
how to prepare for the transition from school to university
(see page 14) as well as talks in colleges and departments
(highlighted in the listings on pages 8–13).
– Parents and carers are also welcome to attend many of the
other events in the programme but sometimes if a room is
full and students might miss out, we will ask you to give up
your place.
– Choosing a course is the most important decision for your
child to make, so if they are not sure what they want to
study, we suggest they focus on this. We advise all visitors
to attend events in subject departments first and look
around colleges later.
– Not every course is offered at every college so please check
the table on page 6 showing which courses are offered by
which college before deciding which ones to visit.
– Oxford’s Common Framework for Admissions means that the
admissions process is the same at every college and your
child will have a similar chance of being successful with their
application no matter which college they apply to. You don’t
need to attend more than one admissions talk in the day.
– Be aware that you are unlikely to have enough time to visit
as many colleges as you might like – even visiting one or
two will give you a good idea how college life here works.
– There will be lots of opportunities to talk to staff and
students throughout the day so please encourage your child
to ask lots of questions and to plan their day realistically
using the information and advice in this guide.

Frequently asked questions:
Which college is best for
my subject?
Colleges do not have specialist subjects.
Be assured that you will get very high
standards of teaching in any of the
subjects a college offers.
Which college is easiest to get into?
None are easy to get into! All colleges
have signed up to a common set of rules
and apply the same criteria to assessing
applications. If one college is over-
subscribed, then candidates are
reallocated to another college. Many
students end up getting offered a place
at a college they didn’t apply to.
Can’t someone else choose for me?
Yes. If you don’t want to, you don’t have
to choose a college at all. Many students
make an “open” application. This means
they don’t name a college on their UCAS
form and the University allocates the
college which will consider them.
Don’t worry if you feel you have no
strong preference for one college or
another. Visiting any of the colleges
will give you a good idea of how the
college system works.
This information is correct as of March 2018, but is subject to change.
For marked courses, available course combinations vary between colleges.

considerations is available on the
