Headington Campus

 Announcement All courses previously taught at the Wheatley Campus are moving to brand new, purpose-built facilities on the Headington Campus. These new buildings will feature state-of-the-art facilities and equipment including digital, computing and robotics labs, a digital theatre, VR cave and material science labs, composite lab, and autodynamics workshop, as well as social learning spaces, teaching rooms and a cafe. Both new buildings will open for Semester Two in the 2024-25 academic year. We will also be moving all teaching from Harcourt Hill to our Headington Campus for the start of the 2025/26 academic year. As with any large estate project timescales can shift, so we will keep people informed of any changes to our plans. We look forward to sharing further information once a detailed piece of work has taken place to look at the sequencing and space requirements required to facilitate the moves.
