Informing. and Attracting applicants from all backgrounds: Considerable resource is dedicated to outreach and access activity carried out across the collegiate University, with the intention of widening access to Oxford. Notable activity includes highly targeted work to inform teachers and guidance advisers in schools so that they can best support their students through the admissions process; targeted, frequently residential, activities in Oxford to encourage students from under-represented groups to apply and to help them make competitive applications; activity to assist and inform candidates at key points in their school education about the choices and options available to them; and a coordinated programme of visits to schools and colleges which covers the whole of the UK. The University is also involved, locally, in activities to increase awareness about higher education in general, particularly among pre-16- year-olds. Much of this work is delivered through collaborations with other universities and partner organisations.
