The Department of Materials has a very active Access & Outreach team. Our main aims are:

- To make available all of the information students may require when contemplating applying to study Materials Science at Oxford.
- To make available teaching and learning resources that can be used by schools and colleges in the 14-19 education sector to increase the appreciation and enjoyment of the fascinating developments in Materials Science.

Each year there are numerous events and activities for a range of students including Open Days, Masterclasses and Workshops, School Visits, Residential Courses, and our Making Materials Matter Student Programme & Teachers Conference.
