Day and weekend events
Join us online or in Oxford
Introducing new teaching formats for the 2021-22 academic year
Explore a topic in-depth over one or two days with multiple speakers; hone your skills in small workshops and hands-on practical sessions; extend your knowledge over several weeks with a lecture series.
Our day and weekend courses are delivered in three formats:
- Hybrid teaching: these events consist of lectures and panel discussions, livestreamed from Rewley House in Oxford. You can opt to attend either in person or online.
- Online – live: delivered entirely online, these include live, interactive teaching with real-time discussion with tutors and other students.
- In-person: events will meet in Oxford or at another specified location for face-to-face teaching. These have no online components.
Taught by lecturers and speakers who are noted authorities in their field of research, some Day and Weekend Events are offered in conjunction with national organisations. Most are non-assessed, and involve no coursework.
Please note: if government guidance on social distancing changes, the number of students attending in person may be subject to change.
