Student news

If you’re starting a new course this Hilary term, or are a student who started in a previous Hilary term, please make sure you complete your student registration.

If you're a fresher, your enrolment will have to be completed by your college (or your department if you don’t have a college), but for continuing students, registering via Student Self-Service is all that is required.

The Your Learning Matters Student Feedback Channel has re-opened for Hilary, and is your opportunity to help improve students’ experiences.

For this pilot programme, interdisciplinary student teams will respond to big questions about the causes, impacts and solutions to the global climate crisis, with keynote lectures from leading Oxford academics.

20 DPhil student facilitators will also support students in exploring skills around problem-solving competencies, ethical reasoning, media literacy, and more.

Why did you choose Oxford?

My decision to study here is rooted in several key factors. Firstly, Oxford's renowned reputation for academic excellence aligns with my aspirations for rigorous scholarly investigation. The University's commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge is an environment in which I thrive. Secondly, Oxford offers unparalleled access to many resources, including world-class libraries, leading experts, and a diverse academic community.

The ideal setting 

Anita has recently worked on the Target Oxbridge Spring Residential, is the 2023-24 Vice President of Oxford African and Caribbean Society (ACS), and studies PPE at Magdalen College.

We caught up with Anita to hear more about the experience, and what's next for her:

Individual experiences

Some students will return home to be with their families or pursue work experience. This can present new demands or stresses around familiar, sometimes difficult patterns of relating with family members or carers or adjusting to a new professional working environment while interning.

Anti-Bullying Awareness Week takes place in November each year. It’s an opportunity to raise awareness of the impact of all forms of bullying and harassment, share sources of support with those affected and ways to report it.

At Oxford, our community is designed to encourage and support good mental health and wellbeing for students. The student experience at Oxford offers lots of opportunities for you to thrive, grow, and look after your own wellbeing. But, we know that sometimes there can be stresses and challenges too!

The University has set out its Common Approach to Support Student Mental Health to explain how we will provide holistic mental health support during your studies.
