For Teachers and Advisors
The Faculty of History aims to provide teachers and advisors with access to free relevant subject specific opportunities and resources.
Further details about our free skills workshops (let us teach a class for you) and our programme of professional development opportunities are detailed below.
We hugely value the role that teachers and advisors play in encouraging students to consider their options and make informed decisions about their future. For further information about the History Faculty’s outreach work, or if you have any questions about outreach, enrichment or admissions please contact outreach@history.ox.ac.uk.

The History Faculty’s outreach programme seeks to challenge educational inequalities across the UK.

Online History Teacher Workshops
The History Faculty recognises the challenges that teachers and careers advisors are navigating when it comes to supporting young people making decisions about their future. We want to work with teachers to better support and understand the needs of students in state secondary schools, sixth forms and FE colleges. Our online teacher workshops are designed to support the development of practical history skills and provide advice on making a competitive application to selective universities such as Oxford. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions and share information.
The workshops consist of 3 elements –
- Supporting the development of History Skills
- Making a competitive application
- Teacher Q&A
Practical Information
Teacher workshops last around 45 minutes and are held online via Microsoft Teams. You will require access to a computer, tablet or smartphone with the Microsoft Teams app or a browser that is compatible with Microsoft Teams in order to attend the session.
