Online Graduate Open Day
The Online Graduate Open Day will take place on Monday 20th October. The day will start with a series of talks and Q&A sessions that are live streamed (times below). Recordings of the talks will be made available afterwards.
Many of our supervisors and their research groups will also be available for drop-in Teams meetings for you to talk to them about their current research. Before you speak to them, you may like to look at their research group posters and other information, as well as their webpages available on our main Chemistry website. You can also drop-in to Q&A sessions with our Graduate Admissions Team.

Each in person graduate open day will be based at the Chemistry Research Laboratory (CRL), 12 Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TA. For directions and an interactive map, see: https://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/getting-here
The access guide for the Chemistry Research Laboratory, and the other buildings in the Department of Chemistry, can be accessed here: https://www.accessguide.ox.ac.uk/chemistry-research-laboratory
There will be a chance for you to find out more about our research programmes including the Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet (CSHP) EPSRC CDT (on Tuesday 21st October only), Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing (IMAT) EPSRC CDT (on Wednesday 22nd October only), and taught MSc in Theoretical & Computational Chemistry (TCC) (on Thursday 23rd October only).
There will be plenty of opportunities to meet current graduate students, hear about some of the cutting-edge science taking place here at Oxford, speak to potential supervisors, and have a tour of our laboratories. Whilst most supervisors will be available to speak to at our open days we cannot guarantee that absolutely everyone will be available to speak to on the day. You are also very welcome to reach out to potential supervisors and arrange an individual visit to Oxford at another time.
