With just three more days to go until the official start of the College academic year, the teaching and support staff here at OIC have been busy putting the finishing touches to induction sessions and preparing new areas across the College - ready for students arrival.
On Monday, we are looking forward to welcoming our AS and A2 student cohorts to attend our annual OIC Induction at the prestigious Oxford Town Hall. It's fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and learn about the exciting year ahead, the expectations we hold for our students, the work they undertake and the fantastic opportunities open to students in our ambitious community.
