Now that the conference is fast approaching, we thought we’d introduce you to your chairpersons! Each committee will have one Main Chair, one or two Co-Chairs, and potentially an Assistant Director as well. The Main Chair will be your main point of contact and will be leading the Dais - here’s a few details about all of them, so you can get to know them a little bit better before the conference!
Now that you’ve hopefully gained a better understanding of how our conference will work and what your delegate experience will be like, it’s time to introduce ourselves!

Participating in your first Model UN conference at OxfordMUN can be an exhilarating experience, but at times it may appear to be overwhelming. Having gone through the experience ourselves, I have compiled a short list of things that I wish I knew before stepping into the committee room for the first time. If you are a first-time delegate or a delegate looking to refresh your skills, this blog may help you navigate the Model UN experience!
At Oxford Global, we take dress code very seriously. It might seem frivolous but how you dress is how you present yourself to the world and to each other, and a smart outfit is a sign of respect towards your peers and towards the conference. Our Chairs and Secretariat will be in their best dress, so we expect you to be too!

The OxfordMUN 2024 Home Conference is happening in just a month! If you’re joining us, or even visiting Oxford for the first time, you must be excited about debating global issues in historic buildings with stunning architecture. In this blog post, we’ll introduce you to the spectacular venues hosting this year’s conference.
Examination Schools
The Examination Schools, a striking Victorian building located on Oxford’s High Street, is where most debates will take place. Designed by Sir Thomas Jackson in 1876, it has served as the central examination venue for Oxford University students. (Yes, we actually sit our exams here!) Its grand, high-ceilinged rooms offer a perfect setting for intense debates. Rooms are allocated according to committee size, but we guarantee that all of them are equally impressive!
Town Hall
We are proud to host our opening and closing ceremonies, as well as one of our Delegate Socials, at the glamorous Oxford Town Hall. A masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, the Town Hall was completed in 1897 and remains a symbol of civic city pride. Its grand hall, with its magnificent stained-glass windows, offers a breathtaking atmosphere for our ceremonies.
Natural History Museum
The equally glamorous - but arguably more extraordinary - location for our second Delegate Social is the Natural History Museum. Known for its stunning neo-Gothic design, this 19th-century museum houses collections of zoological, entomological, and geological specimens. Both its exhibits and glass roof make it a unique piece of architecture, making it the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening of socialising and networking.
Trinity College, Oxford
If you sign up for our Midnight Committee Session, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Trinity College, one of the 39 constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. Founded in 1555, Trinity College is known for its beautiful quadrangles, historic buildings, and tranquil gardens. The college’s timeless gardens are sure to make the Midnight Committee Session a unique experience.
As MUNers, what helps us make friends and build bonds is not only the exciting weekend of conference spent together, but also MUN-exclusive activities that help incite common memories. Whether you are a first-time delegate looking to read about what to expect at MUNs, or just someone seeking some fun MUN nostalgia, this is the blog post for you!
Hi guys! I’m Ayala, the Under-Secretary-General for Community Building and I’m going to explain a little more about my responsibilities and my role in the conference. I absolutely love what I do and hopefully by the end of this blog you’ll understand why - if you have any questions about my job please feel free to come and have a chat in November!
Oxford University is, on many levels, a very strange place. It is full of bizarre traditions, eccentric tutors and creepy buildings. How does this all fit into a regular student’s experience, and how does one make the most of Oxford’s quirks while maintaining a sense of normalcy in day-to-day life? I’m going to answer this question by taking you through a day in my life as a student studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford.
Under Secretary General for Content is the role that covers the writing, editing, formatting and final publishing on the Background Guides that delegates use to inform their research on their committee, as well as side-tasks such as proofreading these blog posts, designing training materials for both delegates and chairs, and running mock sessions! It’s an exciting role with a lot of variety and creativity involved, so without further ado, meet you USGs for Content:
The Under-Secretary Generals for Business are responsible for managing Oxford Global’s social media accounts, aiming to attract new delegates and keep current ones engaged and informed about the latest conference updates. You can see their recent progress in revealing the committees and the secretariat team on Oxford Global’s Instagram @oxford.global. Additionally, the under-secretary generals for business seek sponsorships and partnerships with businesses to facilitate the running of the conference and enhance the delegate experience through potential discounts from local businesses. They are also tasked with managing external staff for the conference and designing the training for volunteers.
Oxford University is made up of 43 colleges spread out across the city. Being a student at Oxford means you are a member of a college, as well as your subject’s department. Each college will have its own character and unique elements, but all have a porters’ lodge (staffed reception), dining hall, library, tutor’s teaching rooms, music rooms, laundry, green spaces, and a common room to socialise in.
Our shelves only hold tools and some of the finest cuts of suede, wool, and cotton, because each order is stitched one at a time and tailored completely to the look and feel that our customers value most.

At the moment we only ship within the United Kingdom, with in-person fittings only available in Oxford.
