Alumni

You’ve graduated. Your access hasn’t.

Most of our programmes and events stay open to recent alumni, whether you left last term or a few years ago.

STUDENT CELEBRATING THE END OF AN EXAM BY TOSSING HIS MORTAR BOARD

Student celebrating the end of an exam by tossing his mortar board. 

Graduated with an idea? Test it properly.

Most of our programmes are for recent alumni. The Startup Incubator is the exception: it doesn't matter when you left Oxford.

Phase 1 of the Startup Incubator helps you find out whether your business idea stands up, before you spend money on it. Run by Oxford University Innovation, it's free and open to Oxford alumni as well as students and staff.

You'll work through business validation with the Incubator team, who can help you develop your product or service and start trading without outside investment.

Spotlight: OUI Startup Incubator, Phase 1

Free support from Oxford University Innovation to test your business idea before you build it. Open to Oxford alumni.

Open to you now

Events and programmes still open to you. Most are free, and most don’t need an Oxford card.
