Outreach Event: Meeting with Tees Valley Students

Earlier today members of our Schools Liaison team, together with enthusiastic volunteers, visited Tees Valley to meet local students and speak to them about language study. Students received taster sessions in French, German, Spanish, and Italian and learned about life at the University of Oxford.

This Language Day is part of the larger Outreach programme undertaken by the Faculty to engage with young people in regions that are historically under-represented at Oxford. We encourage talented students across Britain to follow the opportunities and careers opened up by a degree in languages — and we are here to answer any practical questions.
