Open Days

The Faculty of Law holds undergraduate Taster days in March sponsored by Clifford Chance, we also take part in the University open days in  June, and September each year. We warmly welcome students, parents, carers and teachers to the university open days to  meet staff and students  and to sample the atmosphere that makes student life at Oxford so special.

University Open Days - June & September

University open days are scheduled for 2/3 July 2025 and 19 September.

Information is available on the University website, we do not require you to register or book for Law sessions, however we are limited to 240 students, and ask parents / guardians to use the overflow rooms, where the presentation will be livestreamed.

A typical Open day consists of a "Law at Oxford" admissions & course overview followed by a taster lecture by one of our esteemed lecturers. The subjects vary at each session and will cover a selection of our UG subjects (Criminal, Tort, Constitutional, Land etc.) Our sessions repeat in the afternoon, again there is no need to book, however we do have a limited capacity, so you are advised to come early to secure a seat in the Gulbenkian theatre, you can use this time to speak to our Law Ambassadors, who are available all day.

Please note, the law library will operate their own tours, details can be found on the University website.

Faculty Taster Days - 17 & 18 March 2025 

The Law Taster Days take place in-person on 17 & 18 March, with nominations opening in early January 2025.

This event is open to year 12 students studying in the UK.  Schools can nominate up to 2 students to attend one of the in-person events. There is an afternoon online session on 19th March for students living overseas or any parents / guardians that wish to join. 

Several Colleges take part in the in-person day by providing tours of their facilities and lunch in their impressive halls. Our Law Faculty Ambassadors will be available throughout the days for casual discussions and to assist with directions, as well as participating in discussions about life as an Oxford law student.

Unfortunately, this event is limited in capacity and therefore we do not allow parents / guardians to attend unless they provide mobilty assistance for a nominated student.

  Nomination links will be sent to schools who have previsously attended in early January, if your school does not receive a link they can contact the Law Outreach team directly. Students cannot nominate themselves.
• Registration for the online session will go live in January. 

This is a sponsored event, Clifford Chance will attend and offer a career presentation with Q&A, this is a fantastic opportunity to network with current lawyers and to gain a better understanding on where your degree can take you in the future.
