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.

Popular and sociable meals, both cafeteria-style and formal, served dinners, are offered in Hall on a pay-as-you-go basis. Some shared kitchen facilities are also available on the central site.

High-quality accommodation is available for most fee-paying graduates, located in single rooms on the central site and in blocks of shared flats on two annexe sites. There is a dedicated block of flats for established couples.

• Letting period: during term for single rooms, 40–48 weeks for flats.

• Generous annual allowances for research (up to £782) and books (up to £165) per graduate
• Wide range of grants, scholarships and prizes available for travel, sporting and cultural activities
• Up to four graduate scholarships of £900 available per year to current graduates to reward academic achievement
• Up to four writing-up scholarships of £1500 available per year

There is a non-auditioning College chapel choir and music room, with a grand and upright piano.

There is also a range of active student societies representing a variety of subjects and interests. The student-designed college bar, a popular meeting place for graduates, is open in the evenings, and the large Sports Pavilion doubles as an entertainment venue for special events.

Jesus College welcomes students with disabilities, who are encouraged to contact the college, in advance, to discuss support needs.

All graduates are automatically members of the Middle Common Room (MCR), a friendly, reaxed space for meeting other graduates, with wide-screen TV, Nintendo Wii and pool table.

The MCR Committee organises an extensive induction programme and a wide range of social functions during term time, from brunches and cocktail evenings to DVD nights and punt parties.
