Create a study plan

A study plan is a great way to help motivate you to study. How you choose to create one is up to you. You might want to add calendar reminders to your phone or even use a wall planner. More information on how to create a study plan can be found on the Oxford Students website. There is also a short video on the website about how to manage your time.

Each year OxfordHACK brings together hundreds of talented students from all around Europe for a weekend of hacking, technical presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities.

The British Institute of Facilities Management held its annual awards ceremony this week, and the University won one of five Impact Awards for our 'Impact on the Environment'.

The award was issued in recognition of our Carbon Management Programme, which delivers the University’s Carbon Management Strategy.

The iSkills series includes sessions on finding relevant material for your research, getting relevant information to come to you, research data management, reference management tools, Open Access publishing and measuring research impact. To view the full programme and book online visit the LibGuides website.

Graduate Supervision Reporting (GSR) is now live in Student Self Service, and has replaced the Graduate Supervision System (GSS).

Before coming to Oxford last year, I was aware that the University has a very small number of ethnic minority students. My parents asked me if I was concerned about this and I said no. The reality is, this is no more keenly felt than in the African and Caribbean demographic of the University and the statistics to show this are countless. Starting life at Oxford, or any university, will present challenges to any fresher.
