Day schools and weekend events
Join us online or in Oxford
Explore a topic in depth over one or two days with multiple speakers, hone your skills in small workshops and practical sessions, or extend your knowledge over several weeks with a lecture series.
Our day schools, weekend events and lecture series are taught by lecturers and speakers who are noted authorities in their field of research. All are non-assessed and don't require coursework.
How to join an event
Events are delivered in the following teaching formats:
- 'Online – live' events are delivered online, with real-time discussion with tutors and other students taking place using an online platform.
- 'In-person' events meet in Oxford or at another specified location for face-to-face teaching.
- 'Hybrid teaching' events consist of livestreamed lectures and panel discussions. You can join us in person or online – you decide! Look for 'hybrid' in the course listings.
