Freshers' Information

This information is intended for those arriving in the academic year 2026-27.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to New College! We hope your time with us will be stimulating and enjoyable.

This mini-site contains some important information from the College. You should read it all, make sure you have understood everything and then complete and return any required documentation in the freshers' information below, plus either the Undergraduate or Graduate webform (as appropriate) for the Freshers' dinner.

There is also a lot of helpful information on the University website:

Oxford University Freshers information

The tasks below are both important and mandatory. Please complete these as soon as possible, and certainly before you arrive at New College

The links below have more information on what will happen during Freshers' Week. Please note that the timetables may change so it is worth checking these regularly. 

We recommend reading through this information before arriving, as it is likely to answer a lot of the practical questions that arise from moving to Oxford, getting familiar with New College, and starting a challenging academic course of study. If you are musically inclined, please do read the information on our Instrumental Awards.
