Open Days 2026
Open Days give prospective undergraduates the chance to see what life here is really like. You’ll be welcomed by current students, who will show you around the College, answer your questions, and share their own experiences of studying and living at Brasenose.
You’ll also hear from the Senior Tutor about admissions and life at the College, and have the opportunity to meet subject tutors to learn more about studying your chosen course at Oxford.
