Year 12 students from state schools and colleges across the UK are invited to join Lady Margaret Hall (one of our lovely Oxford colleges) for a Modern Languages and Linguistics Taster Day on Wednesday 22nd April. 

This Modern Languages and Linguistics Taster Day gives students the opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of our undergraduate degree programmes. Lady Margaret Hall (LMH) tutors will offer a series of taster workshops focusing on French literature and Spanish cinema, alongside introductory sessions to Portuguese, Russian and the study of Linguistics. These tasters will give an indication of the variety of areas and approaches that make up a Modern Languages course, which extends across literature, language, film, history, culture, and thought, and of the wide range of skills our students hone through their in-depth study.

The day will include a discussion of the Modern Languages and Linguistics application process at Oxford, a mock interview, and a Q&A with tutors and current undergraduate students in Modern Languages. All attendees will also have a tour of LMH with one of our student ambassadors and a free lunch in the college hall.

We welcome any Year 12 student from a UK state school who has a keen interest in languages and linguistics, who is studying at least one language (French, German, Spanish) at A-level, and is considering studying modern languages at university. No prior knowledge of a specific language or of linguistics is required in order to attend a taster session on that topic.

Please register for this event by filling out our Taster Day application form.
