What is it?
The Robinson Arts and Humanities Residential includes subject taster sessions, admissions information, and exploration of the College and the wider University. The event is free-of-charge, with accommodation and meals provided by the College. Travel expenses may be covered if students meet our Travel Costs policy.
The residential is designed for students who may be interested in exploring options across Arts and Humanities subjects, or connections between these subjects and disciplines. This structure allows students to consider and compare multiple subjects - including those they may not have previously encountered - and gain an insight into the connections and skills that underpin degree courses within each discipline.
This will include, but is not limited to, sessions focused on:
- Theology
- Languages
- English
- Anthropology
- Classics
- Art and Culture
Please note that there will be no sessions covering Law. If you are interested in Law, please consider our Slaughter and May Law Insight Day instead.
