Mansfield College

Mansfield College offers an informal, stimulating environment in which tutors and students work together to achieve academic excellence and sustain a supportive as well as lively community. In any one year there are around 90 graduates in the MCR.

To encourage good relations between the Senior and Middle Common Room Members, graduate students are regularly able to dine on High Table, the MCR has occasional guest nights in Hall, and there is a joint seminar and dinner in each term.

The College is less than a five minute walk away from the Science Area, major Humanities libraries, and the Bodleian Library.
