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!
