The Audio Admissions Tours are designed to provide you with the opportunity to find out much more about the University of Oxford from a student perspective and provide information and guidance on the process of applying for a place to study on an undergraduate degree course. The Green (Life Sciences) Route takes you to the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the University Science area, five undergraduate colleges and other University places of interest such as the Sheldonian Theatre. The colleges on this route include: Balliol College, Trinity College, Wadham College, New College and Harris Manchester College. These undergraduate colleges have been chosen because they are near the other stops on this route – they are not specifically colleges for the life sciences. No colleges specialise in any particular subject, and most colleges offer most courses. To see any of the other colleges please visit the porters’ lodge (reception) at that college, and ask if you can have a look around. Most colleges have specific opening times during the day so please check their individual websites or ask in the Admissions Information Centre.
