Reading Lists

Please see below for individual subject reading lists. It is possible, in some cases, that reading lists or pre-sessional work will be circulated between now and the start of October; in such cases we will both upload them to this page and email them to you directly. If you are studying for a joint degree, please check both subject reading lists, and be aware that they may be released separately.

A Book Grant of £50 will be available to all first year students for the purchase of course-related books from Blackwell’s Bookshop. This will be provided in the form of an EGift code that you may request by email from the Finance Bursar’s PA at fbsec@wadham.ox.ac.uk at the start of term (or in advance of the start of term if you need to purchase books prior to your arrival). The EGift code may be used in the shop as well as online, and is valid up until the end of Michaelmas Term. Delivery of books within the UK is free.

The code can be used multiple times until the £50 has been spent. Blackwell’s offers very competitive prices and will match the price of any other retailer. If you still find a cheaper price online, they will match that price when you come to pay in store and show your Student ID (with online purchases, the price match happens automatically). Details of Blackwell's student discount scheme can also be found at the Document Library.

Purchases made with the Book Grant will be monitored. Students will be asked to refund any amounts spent on non-eligible books or other items.
