Oxford University - Oxplore
Oxplore is an innovative digital outreach portal which aims to engage those from 11 to 18 years with debates and ideas that go beyond what is covered in the classroom. Big questions tackle complex ideas across a wide range of subjects and draw on the latest research undertaken at Oxford. Oxplore aims to realise aspirations, promote broader thinking and stimulate intellectual curiosity.
The featured “Big Questions” reflect the kind of thinking students undertake at universities like Oxford. Everything on Oxplore draws on the University of Oxford’s expertise in everything from archaeology to zoology to offer approaches to challenges and questions underpinned by the latest thinking and research.
This is a fantastic website for those thinking about applying to University and looking for ways to explore their subject beyond the curriculum. Each topic is produced by Cambridge postgraduate students and academics at the cutting edge of research in their field. The topics provide guided activities, questions to think about and suggestions for further reading. The main subject pages also give a quick guide to what it would be like to study the subject at university level and suggest some further resources to check out.
All sorts of information about life at Oxford and getting into Oxford. Definitely not just for the girls!
