For students

We organise in-person and online events for students – some focusing on our link regions or specific areas within Yorkshire & the Humber and Greater London.

Wherever you’re from though, here are a range of resources to help you get to know Mansfield, your subject, and your potential Oxford application.

Our Linktree is a great resource if you want to learn more about Oxford, the application process, and opportunities from across the University.
