The University of Oxford in Oxfordshire is launching a free online event for prospective students starting on 16 March 2026. This initiative aims to help people across the country learn about applying for undergraduate courses and what life is like at the university.

The Oxford Online Student Conference will run from Monday, 16 March to Thursday, 19 March 2026. It is designed for students in Year 12, as well as their teachers and families, to get direct advice from university staff and current students.

Participants can join various digital webinars to hear from academics about different subjects and the admissions process. Because the event is entirely online, students can take part without needing to travel to the city.

According to the University of Oxford, this initiative is part of an effort to make the application process easier to understand. The goal is to encourage high-achieving students from all backgrounds to consider applying by removing some of the usual barriers to information.
