For School Students
For the first time, the RDS are inviting School Students to attend the annual conference free of charge. Pupils will be able to watch a live-stream of the morning conference talks and network with conference delegates during recesses. Following a brief tour of Green Templeton College, students will participate in an afternoon workshop focusing on applications to Oxford Medical School. All aspects of the application will be covered: students will have the opportunity to ask any questions about the application process and can practice answering Oxford-style interview questions.
Pupils applying for 2023 or 2024 entry to Medical School are eligible to apply online. The deadline for applications is Monday 4 October. For pupils unable to travel to Oxford in person, online-only applications can be made to watch the morning talks remotely.
