Jesus College’s lively multidisciplinary graduate community makes up about a third of the student body. The College is committed to offering its graduates the best possible support for their studies, through generous research and book allowances, high-quality accommodation and other facilities.

The College is located on an attractive historic site in the centre of Oxford close to the libraries, Science Area, and all the city’s amenities.

Every graduate has a College Advisor, usually a Fellow in the same field. Academic support is also provided through an annual progress review with the Principal and Academic Director. Popular termly dinners and talks for graduates and Fellows offer plenty of opportunity for discussion.

Preference will normally be given to graduate applicants whose research interests overlap with those of Fellows of the College.
