Visits, Open Days & applicant info

We run three official Open Days during the year, in conjunction with the University of Oxford’s own Open Days for undergraduates. In addition, there are a range of other ways to find out more about Harris Manchester, from in-person visits to hearing from current students about their experiences.

Open Days

We run three official Open Days during the year, in conjunction with the University of Oxford's own Open Days for undergraduates.

In 2026 our last remaining Open Day is on 18 September.

Open Days give prospective students the opportunity to take a tour of the College with current students and meet the Tutor for Admissions.

You can drop by during the day at any time from 10am to 4pm; and if you would like to eat lunch in our dining hall, you'll need to book in advance.

Detailed Open Day programme:

Lunch in the Arlosh Hall at 1.00pm
Refreshments will be available between 2.00pm and 4.00pm. Please do pop by and chat to some of our current students!
Tours of the College with current students will be leaving periodically from the front desk between 10.00am and 4.00pm
Meet the Tutor for Admissions, Victoria Lill, throughout the day at the Schwarzman Centre from 10.00am to 4.00pm.
