Computer Science at Oxford
Open days
From Computer Science at Oxford
Open days are held at the Computing Laboratory to provide you with an opportunity to meet current staff and students, to see demonstrations of project work done by our students and the research work of the Laboratory, to hear a short talk about university-level Computer Science, and to get answers to any questions you have. There is a map showing how to find the Computing Laboratory.
In 2009, there will two open days that coincide with open days in other science departments, and an information day at the end of the summer, again linked with other science departments. An additional Mathematics open day, organised by the Mathematics Undergraduate Representative Committee, features a special lunch for those interested in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Individuals and family groups do not need to book for the open days in July or September. If you would like to come to the Joint Open Day with Maths then please contact Wendy Adams at the Computing Laboratory (Tel. 01865 283559). Also, if you are a teacher intending to bring a larger party of potential applicants to one of the open days, please contact Wendy Adams too, giving the name of your school, the date of the open day, and the names of pupils you intend to bring. This will help us to ensure that spaces are available for you.
For those who cannot make any of the open days, our Schools Access and Liaison Officer, Dr. Stephen Drape, can deal with any specific queries. He can be contacted by e-mail at Stephen.Drape@comlab.ox.ac.uk.
