Arts and drama is popular at all three colleges, and for three nights in March 2014 Kings Oxford students from both St. Josephs and St. Michaels put on a fantastic production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

We raise money for charitable causes through events and activities across all Kings locations.

In 2014 a charity football match was organised to raise money for the people affected by floods in Serbia, with staff and students both taking part.

Showcasing photography skills Several times each year Kings Oxford holds a photography competition.

It’s a great way to encourage students to explore the wonderful city they live in, and to show off their creative skills. One of the highlights of 2014 was the ‘Oxford Doors and Archways’ competition, which drew in a huge range of entries.

One of Kings Oxford’s most popular extracurricular clubs is the Music Club, members of which played at the 2014 May Ball.

Xueru Cai (Wayne) from China commented: “I have been playing the guitar for years and I am learning how to play the drums now. We played four songs during the ball, and I personally think that was the best night ever.”

As such is it highly flexible and adaptable to their specific needs, and has been carefully designed to integrate with several art-related programmes at Kings.

Art Foundation This course is for students wanting the fastest, most direct path to an art and design-related degree course at a UK university.

Aimed at learners who are contemplating taking a degree course in an English-speaking university, the course provides them with the necessary linguistic, study and thinking skills to maximise their potential.
