You can find out more about this on the experience page. However, we want you to leave Oakes with skills and memories that build on your academic experience. During your electives, Oakes tutors organise a short course where you can choose to learn journalism, mindfulness, dancing, street art, designing board games, photography, musical theatre and much more. You will also have the opportunity to attend a range of enrichment activities during your study programme, such as sports teams, joining the debate team, or the gym fitness suite, amongst many other clubs on offer.
These are an alternative to your tutor periods for a term. They are created to develop your skills, work on your general wellbeing, build on friendships and strengthen your future personal statements for work, apprenticeships and university.
