Pre-Arrival Guide for new students starting in 2024/25

Welcome from the Academic Office Team

Many congratulations on receiving an offer of a place on your chosen course at the University of Oxford. We are delighted to welcome you at St Antony’s College and we hope this pre-arrival guide will answer many of your questions about the College admissions process, arrival in Oxford and life in the St Antony’s community.

Pre-arrival newsletters:

Before you arrive, we will email you newsletters containing all the information you need before starting your course here at St Antony’s College. Please make sure to read them and do get in touch if you should have any questions: admissions@sant.ox.ac.uk.  

Keep in touch

Please contact the Academic and Admissions Officer if your contact details change (for example, if you provided a university email address on application to the University of Oxford and have since graduated). It is especially important to keep your personal email address up to date, as this is how St Antony’s College will communicate with you prior to your arrival.

If you have any questions or need signposting to other information after reading the following pages, please do not hesitate to get in contact. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the College soon.
