Examination Schools
75-81 High Street, Oxford, United KingdomTel: +44 1865 276903
If you're in Oxford in June, there's a fair chance that you might see pale students entering the Examination Schools in the morning, or others celebrating the end of their exams later in the day. However, in addition to hosting examinations, the building is frequently used for lectures and conferences and, during both World Wars, it was converted into a hospital. It also houses the university's portrait gallery. Notice the two sculptured panels over the main entrance showing a viva voce examination and the award - by touching the successful candidate's forehead with a Bible - of an MA degree, and then walk round the corner into Merton Street to get the best view of the three-sided quad. Please note that this building is not normally open to the public.
