St Anne’s is the home of choice for the brightest and most ambitious students, including those from underrepresented groups.
St Anne’s is one of Oxford’s largest colleges, with over 800 students. Our Fellows’ world leading research ranges across the arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and physical, life and medical sciences.
Our diverse, inclusive community extends around the globe through our alumnae, who build on their experiences here to change the world for the better.
Situated within 5 acres of tranquil leafy grounds, St Anne’s enjoys a unique atmosphere in which to hold any conference, dinner or special event.
St Anne’s Supercurricular Club is our series of online academic taster sessions aimed at Year 12 students who want to broaden their academic interests and gain insight into University-level research and undergraduate-style teaching.
Sessions run each year from March to May to allow Year 12s to gain insight into their proposed study area, ahead of when Year 12s start to put together their personal statement. Use as a springboard for further reading and engagement with your subject.
Each taster session will be one hour long and will introduce students to our researchers’ work, and what this subject area might be like to study at Undergraduate level. Open to Y12 students who would like to get a taste of their subject at this level and learn from an Oxford University academic!
We will be running our 2027 series from March 2027.
