All-Subject Open Days


Supervisions are really good for clarifying difficult concepts raised in lectures and my supervisor helps to place these within the context of ‘the bigger picture’.

Hugh, second year Natural Scientist.

One of the things I love about Magdalene is that I really feel as though I belong to a community here. It is such a supportive and encouraging environment to be studying and living in.

Chloe, second year studying English.

More than anything, the Magdalene Bursary allows and encourages young people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds not only to take up a place in Magdalene but also to get the most out of their studies and College life.
