Megan Bruton

My role is to build relationships with non-selective state schools, to help inspire and empower students to access Higher Education. I co-ordinate and deliver Access Visits at St John’s College, where students are able to experience talks, workshops, and tours, to support them in their knowledge of Higher Education, and Oxford specifically.

I work closely with secondary schools and sixth forms in our link areas in the South East, as well as with primary schools in Oxfordshire. Working with schools is incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to meet so many brilliant students and members of staff. I am committed to ensuring that the University is a representative, welcoming, and forward-thinking institution. Crucial to this is the prioritisation of access and outreach.

Prior to taking up this role, I worked on other access programmes run by the University, such
as UNIQ and OxNet, and benefitted from access programmes myself, whilst an applicant.

I graduated with a degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford,
in 2024.
