Learn about life at the University today. Topics will include: the Oxford tuition system; student life in an Oxford college; the differences between the colleges and their specialities; how you apply to Oxford and how easy is it to get a place at the University?

Learn about the history of the University. Why is there a university in Oxford and how has it changed over the years?

We will usually visit one of the colleges of the university, such as Exeter College, founded in 1314, where Tolkien was a student, or St John's College founded in 1555, or All Souls College, founded in 1438.  As this is a free tour, you may be asked to pay for your entry to the college (usually around £5), or you can choose not to visit the college.  

The tour is given in Italian.

No advance payment is required for the tour. We recommend a donation of 20–30 pounds per person at the end of the tour (obviously, a lower amount for children).
