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.
18th September
International Women in Engineering Day - 23 June
The Department celebrates International Women in Engineering Day on 23 June each year.
As part of this the Outreach Team aim to run an event for young female aspiring engineers - more details in 2027.
UNIQ
UNIQ is the University of Oxford’s access programme for UK state school students. The scheme prioritise places for students with good grades from backgrounds that are disadvantaged. 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.
