St Hilda's College
The University of Oxford’s Department of Engineering Science and St Hilda’s College are collaborating in running an Engineering Study Day for Year 12s in January. This day will allow you to learn more about Engineering Science at Oxford University as well as experience a taste of life as an undergraduate at Oxford University by staying overnight in an Oxford College.
Overnight accommodation, including breakfast the following morning, will be provided for free in St Hilda's College on Thursday 7th January to allow for an early start on the Friday. We expect all attendees to stay overnight to ensure an efficient, timely start to the Study Day. Unfortunately, we are unable to allow family members, including parents, to attend any of the events or stay overnight.
We have a limited number of places, so it is likely we will have to prioritise applicants from disadvantaged postcodes using IMD data, underrepresented backgrounds in engineering, and from schools with a weaker history of progression to higher education.
Students who we are unable to accommodate on the residential will receive an online alternative of the programme.
The deadline for applications is 27th November. Apply now!
What is on offer?

Feedback from last year's programme
"The tours and tutorial were helpful and showed me what a day-to-day life of an Oxford student would typically look like"
"For me, my favourite part of the programme was getting to socialise with people from across England and discuss our subjects and possible career prospects"
"The tutorial was my favourite part as the problem sheet was very interesting to do and the tutor expanded on ideas I hadn’t even thought about in the question. It was also fun to see other people’s methods of thinking as we talked"
We are looking for:
- Students currently in Year 12 (or equivalent)
- Students in state-funded education in the UK
- Students studying Maths and Physics A Level (or equivalent)
- Students on track to achieve A*A*A at A Level
Please note that we will be prioritising applicants from underrepresented backgrounds at the University of Oxford
