The University of Oxford has received a £6.25 million gift to expand its outreach work with socio-economically disadvantaged students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. The gift will help to fund three major outreach projects taking place at the University of Oxford from October 2025 – one of which is the Department of Physics’ Comprehensive Oxford Mathematics and Physics Online School (COMPOS), an innovative ‘online school’ that gives 14-19-year-olds the opportunity to learn maths and physics at a deep level.
