I’m a member of the public, can I attend your lectures?
Whilst our standard undergraduate and graduate lectures are only available for registered students, there are a number of special lectures which are available for members of the public, and which you would be very welcome to attend. We run a number of annual/bi-annual lecture series, which are always open for the public, such as the News International Visiting Professor of Broadcast Media lectures, the Oxford Wells Shakespeare lecture series and occasional Clarendon lectures. Details of these are available in the news and events section of our website.

I'm a member of the press and would like to talk to someone about a story I'm writing.
Please contact the Faculty Administrator in the first instance, and we'll do our best to assist you.

I’m an academic at another institution, can I visit the Faculty for research purposes?
We do have an Associate Member programme, whereby senior academics from other institutions can visit the Faculty for research purposes for periods of up to a year. For further information and details of how to apply, please contact the Faculty Office.

Do you teach English as a foreign language?
No. You may be able to find some relevant courses through the Department of Continuing Education.

Whilst it doesn’t teach English as a foreign language, the newly formed Faculty of Linguistics and Philology covers areas such as language acquisition and learning, which may be relevant for researchers interested in these areas.
