All first-year Undergraduate, Graduate and Visiting Students come up to Oxford the week before their course begins and take part in an induction programme (also known as Freshers’ Week), which provides a wide range of information and guidance about life and study at New College and Oxford. Our students have also prepared a number of events to inform you and entertain you during this time.
Please continue to check these timetables as they may be subject to last-minute changes.
The Michaelmas Term Freshers' Week will run from Sunday 5 October 2025 for Graduate, Maximilaneum, Princeton and Erasmus students and from Monday 6 October 2025 for Undergraduate, WISC, University of Notre Dame, Amherst and Tsinghua students.
