Open Days
What's it really like to study engineering at Oxford? What are our colleges like? For answers to these questions and more, join us at the Department of Engineering during our University-wide Open Days. Stay for an hour - or the whole day.
There'll be taster lectures and demos from academics and researchers, information for parents and carers, talks by current students and tours of the Department.
1st and 2nd July

International Women in Engineering Day - 23 June
To celebrate International Women in Engineering Week, The Engineering Science Department will be hosting five online talks during the week of 22 June 2026.
The first four of these will be from individual female Oxford University postgraduate students, currently working on projects and research within the Engineering Science Department. The final talk will be an overview of undergraduate life for Engineering Students here at Oxford University and an opportunity to ask questions of female undergraduate students about their time and experience here.
The talks will run from 16:30 - 17:30 on:
- Monday 22 June
- Tuesday 23 June
- Wednesday 24 June
- Thursday 25 June
- Friday 26 June - Undergraduate experience and Q&A
The talks will be aimed at students from years 10-12 but anybody of any age or gender who is interested is welcome to attend. You may attend as many or as few talks as you wish.
UNIQ
UNIQ is the University of Oxford’s access programme for UK state school students. We prioritise places for students with good grades from backgrounds that are under-represented at Oxford and other universities. Every year more students from diverse backgrounds get offered places at Oxford with help from UNIQ.
Graduate Access Programmes
The University and colleges are doing more than ever to increase the number of promising postgraduate students from under-represented groups at Oxford.
Uncover Engineering
Uncover is a residential programme that gives female students and Black African and Caribbean heritage students in year 10 the opportunity to explore maths and physics subjects in the context of Engineering studies, while offering a glimpse into university life. The programme is run by Oxford University and students will stay in a college for 4 days. Days will be filled with engineering-focused activities and workshops organised by the Department of Engineering Science. In the evenings we have arranged recreational activities and social opportunities with other like-minded future engineers. You’ll also find out about life at Oxford and living in a college (including a formal dinner!).
Uncover has now taken place for 2026 but applications will re-open in the autumn for 2027 places.
