Computer Science at Oxford

From Computer Science at Oxford

Inside the Computing Laboratory

If you are interested in applying to Oxford, but feel you need more information, why not visit one of our open days? These give prospective applicants and their teachers the chance to visit the Computing Laboratory. The summer open days are timed to coincide with open days at many of the other science departments and several of the colleges.

Quite apart from giving you a direct idea of what studying Computer Science at Oxford would be like, coming to an open day means that the place is not completely unfamiliar if you later come back for an interview, and you will very likely have met at least one of the tutors who will be carrying out the interviews.

More information about the University and the courses it offers, about Computer Science at Oxford, and about Oxford colleges, can also be found on these web pages:

• The University admissions site, including the undergraduate prospectus. There is also an excellent summary of the interview process, based on a booklet we send to all applicants. You can request a paper copy of the prospectus by sending e-mail to undergraduate.admissions@admin.ox.ac.uk.
• The Computing Laboratory's main web site. Here you can find information about the research work of the Laboratory, and about the other courses at postgraduate level that we offer.
• The Mathematical Institute has a web site with more information about the topics in our degree courses that are shared with Mathematics. The site includes information about the Summer School and supporting materials aimed at entrants with only one Mathematics A level.
• Each college has a website where you can find out about the College's open days, and request a copy of the College prospectus. Links to these sites appear on the University site.

For enquiries about Computer Science admissions, you can contact the Computing Laboratory using the e-mail address undergraduate.admissions@comlab.ox.ac.uk.
