All Souls holds an exam every autumn for students who have recently graduated from, or are registered for a higher degree at, the University of Oxford. Candidates may choose to sit papers in Classics, Economics, English Literature, History, Law, Philosophy or Politics, and there is also a General component. The Fellowship lasts for seven years. Those elected receive a generous stipend, accommodation and career support, and may either choose to pursue an academic career, or to contribute to wider academic life while pursuing a non-academic career.

The Open Evening is an opportunity for interested BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) students to learn about the Examination Fellowship – to find out more about the exam process, and to meet some members of the College.

All Souls is committed to attracting people from all backgrounds, and welcomes enquiries about the Examination Fellowship from anyone.

The Examination was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. Currently, the College plans to hold the Examination in 2021, but plans may be altered depending on national restrictions.

This event will be held on Zoom. To register, please contact the Events Manager.
