The International Students' Campaign is a great way to get involved with the issues surrounding international students and to meet other like-minded students. We organize large-scale events throughout the year, such as the Oxford International Festival, as well as smaller brunches and picnics for international students and those interested in international issues.

As always, please feel free to email us at [email protected] if you have any questions!

We hope to hear from you soon,

The (outgoing) ISC Committee
