Point 3 is where we bring year 10 students to visit us in Oxford. During this full day event, participants typically get a chance to meet current undergraduate students, tour St Catherine’s College as well as another College, take part in an academic taster session and have lunch in our Hall. Due to the length of travel, our Teesside hub will typically stay for a one night residential, taking part in all of the previous activities as well as city tours, museum visits, and budgeting and time management workshops.
