Who is the Foundry for?
If you are a current student at the University of Oxford - whether you're an undergrad, postgrad, DPhil student or researcher - this space is for you. All you have to do is show up with your Bod card, and register for your free OXFO pass card. Alumni within 10 years of graduating can also use the Foundry up to 10 times per academic year.
Come in, chill out, connect over coffee, skill up and get inspired. We run our own suite of Foundry workshops and programmes for students, often collaborating with student societies and other University departments. Sign up for our newsletter (see below) or connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn to stay updated on what's coming up next at the Foundry.
My message to all students is, be your own superhero. Upskill yourself, be open to learning beyond your niche, and be far more afraid of not trying than failing.
