You would not only be helping a new generation of students, but will be contributing to the College archives and to future historical research. You would be asked not only about your experiences at university, but also your childhood, family and career journey to provide full life histories for future researchers.

Interviews due to take place between the end of May and the end of June have been cancelled due to Covid-19, but if you are interested in taking part in future years, please register your interest with Dr Amy Tooth Murphy (Lecturer in Oral History).
