Alumni Insights

One of our Alumni will join us to talk about their experiences of studying at the Oxford Internet Institute and to share how the skills and knowledge they gained from their programme influenced their career.

Taster Lecture

The final presentation of the afternoon will be a taster lecture from one of our teaching Faculty. The taster lecture can provide you with important insight of what it is like to study at the Oxford Internet Institute, including the types of topics you will encounter, the way we teach.

Q&A

One of the most important reasons to attend the open day is to get your questions answered. We will take student questions about anything: the application process, living in Oxford, colleges, what to expect of our degrees, and anything else that might help you decide to apply to the OII and to put in a strong application.

Refreshments and Questions

During the open day event, there will be a break with free coffee, tea and snacks, during which you will have time to discuss your questions and ideas with faculty and staff of the OII in an informal setting.
