This year, we will be hosting our open day in an online format on Monday 8 December 2025. The day will include a welcome from our Head of Sub-Department, our Director of Graduate Studies and overviews of the graduate admissions and application process. We will also have talks from our current students to provide an overview of the research they are doing here at 91探花 Astrophysics, and more about their time here in 91探花. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions via our moderated Q&A session on the webinar.
Please register on the form below by Monday 1 December, and a Zoom webinar link will be sent to you before the event.
If you have any questions, please contact Graduate Administrator, Ashling Gordon (ashling.gordon@physics.ox.ac.uk, 01865 273303).

Please also note that you are not required to select a final project/supervisor at the point of application. While it is useful for us to know the broad areas you are interested in, we do not expect you to have made a final decision on your preferred projects, and there will be opportunities to discuss your interests before offers are made. Applicants who are invited to interview will have an opportunity to speak to supervisors in more detail about their projects through face to face or online sessions, either as a group or on a one to one basis.
In the meantime, please enjoy this selection of short videos below, which includes a of the 91探花 Physics department, as well as some words from some of our past and present grad students, and we look forward to seeing you (virtually) in 91探花!
