Pre-clinical Medicine open days
Due to limited space at the Medical Sciences Teaching Centre, we are able to invite prospective applicants and teachers only to the open days.
Directions to the Medical Sciences Teaching Centre
The Medical Sciences Teaching Centre is located at one corner of the University's Science Area, next to the University Parks. The easiest pedestrian route from Oxford city centre is via Parks Road, turning right onto South Parks Road, then cutting into the Science Area by walking down Sibthorp Road (on the left of Department of Plant Sciences), and then veering right towards the MSTC.

The open days
No booking is required to attend our open days.
The dates for the 2012 open days (for 2013 entry) are Wednesday 27 June, Thursday 28 June and Friday 14 September.
At our open days academic staff will discuss the structure of the course, academic requirements, short-listing procedures and interviews. Students and staff will also be available to answer your questions, and you will be able to tour the Medical Sciences Teaching Centre.
You can download the provisional programme for the Medicine Open Days on 27 and 28 June 2012. The programme for the Open Day in September will follow a similar format.
Our programme takes place over half a day (i.e. you only need to attend the Medical Sciences Teaching Centre for the morning or the afternoon), which should leave you enough time to visit a college or another department.

Attending other open days at the University of Oxford
The information on this website only relates to the open days for A100 Pre-clinical Medicine, and you might be interested in visiting a college or another department. If you are, you will have to contact them individually, as some may require you to book in advance to attend their open days. Most colleges will also be open to visitors for informal tours which do not require booking.

The Pre-clinical Medicine open days tend to be vastly over-subscribed: we recommend you arrive early for either the morning or the afternoon session. If you arrive for one of the later talks we cannot guarantee you will be able to gain access to the lecture theatre as it may already be full.
If you are also interested in the Biomedical Sciences open days: please note the content for the mock interview for the two subjects will cover very similar ground.
