Open Days provide an excellent opportunity to visit the Faculty and meet tutors and students. The information in this page concerns the Faculty's programming only. For general information about the University’s Open Days, please check the Open Days webpage.

2024 Open Days

Our Open Days are free to attend, but our space is limited. You must register and book a place to be able to attend the main 'Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Oxford' session at our Open Days.

We look forward to welcoming any prospective students. If room capacity allows, one parent, guardian, friend or supporter may accompany each prospective applicant. Some sessions may not admit parents or guardians. Priority will be given to prospective applicants in all of the sessions.

Information on our planned Open Day events in 2024 is listed below. These details are regularly updated, and more information may become available as the dates of the Open Days approach. Registered attendees will receive updates should there be any changes to our programming.
