Oxford University is hosting our first ever Open Day for those interested in potentially applying for postgraduate study with the Engineering Science Department.
The day will give potential applicants a chance to meet current postgraduate students, academic staff and alumni now working in industry, alongside the opportunity to learn more about the cutting-edge research that takes place across our department. There will also be chance to speak to academics working across nearly all of the panels within Engineering Science.
This event will be in-person in Oxford. Please register using the QR code or the booking link below.
