OXFORD University and the Welsh Government’s Seren Network has co-hosted an evening reception to celebrate the enduring impact of their partnership on outreach in Wales.
The Seren Network was fully established by the Welsh Government in 2016.
It aims to support and enable Welsh students from all backgrounds to achieve their academic potential, and progress to leading universities around the world.

Dr Samina Khan, Director of Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach at the university, said: “I’m very excited to be here today promoting the expansion of Seren Network to younger school children.
"Through this continued partnership we hope to make a positive and sustainable change in the lives of young people in Wales.”
