Description
The Audio Admissions Tours are designed to provide you with the opportunity to find out much more about the University of Oxford from a student perspective and provide information and guidance on the process of applying for a place to study on an undergraduate degree course. The Yellow (Social Sciences) Route takes you to the Pitt Rivers Museum, the Sheldonian Theatre, the Bodleian Library, five undergraduate colleges and other University places of interest such as the Social Sciences Library. There is also the opportunity to hear from a current undergraduate student studying Law and another studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics. The colleges on this route include: Mansfield College, St Catherine's College, Lincoln College, Jesus College and Exeter College. These undergraduate colleges have been chosen because they are near the other stops on this route – they are not specifically colleges for Social Sciences. No colleges specialise in any particular subject, and most colleges offer most courses. To see any of the other colleges please visit the porters’ lodge (reception) at that college, and ask if you can have a look around. Most colleges have specific opening times during the day so please check their individual websites or ask in the Admissions Information Centre.
