St Anne's College

St Anne’s, well-known for its friendly and supportive academic environment, has 230 graduates from many countries. This makes its Middle Common Room, to which all graduates belong, one of the largest, most international and most vibrant in the University. The College is situated a short walk from the city centre, adjacent to the University Parks and the University Science Area.

St Anne’s has a dynamic research community supported by Fellows and Research Fellows across the disciplines. Graduates are central to this lively, intellectual environment. There are numerous events, academic and social, including seminars arranged by the MCR which attract distinguished speakers and bring together graduates and Fellows informally.

A new graduate centre on the already well-equipped College site provides study facilities as well as enhanced common room space, and a number of bedrooms. This complements the graduate centre off-site in Summertown.

The Tutor for Graduates oversees the smooth running of graduate matters, working closely with the graduate student committee and in particular its elected officers.

We have Directors of Music and of the Art Gallery, who ensure that the creative arts thrive.
