The new students on the BSc Real Estate Management were treated to a guided walking tour of Oxford (with Footprint Tours) on 17 September 2015. As well as enjoying the tour, the students had a number of questions to answer. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the city and learn more of its history before going back up the hill to Headington. The tour in photos (by the Ed). Click on the red links for bits of history.
