Regent's Park College

Regent’s Park College is known for its friendly atmosphere and strong sense of community. It has a thriving community of some 200 students – undergraduates, graduates and visiting international students, all of whom have exactly the same relationship to the University as those at any Oxford College.

Although the College character stems from its Christian roots, and it still trains men and women for ordained ministry in Baptist churches, it welcomes students of any or no religious belief.

There are, for those who wish, opportunities to explore and develop a Christian mind about the world and academic learning, especially through the Oxford Centre for Christianity and Culture.

Library resources

The College library has an excellent and extensive stock of theology books. Among the other Arts subjects catered for in the library, English and Philosophy are also well represented. Entry to the Library is available 24 hours a day via a code entry mechanism.

The library incorporates the archives of the ‘Angus Library’, which contains a unique collection of early documents and books related to Baptist life and history and is used mainly by research students, and the David Nicholls Memorial collection, a smaller library specialising in the Caribbean and Haiti, in particular theology and politics.

Computing resources

Computers are available in the MCR and library, and almost all areas of the College have wireless access.
