St Catherine’s has one of the largest graduate intakes of the colleges admitting both undergraduates and graduates, and since its foundation has sought to integrate graduates closely into the academic and social life of the College. It offers a wide range of subjects with a roughly even split between science and arts.

The College is proud of its place at the forefront of innovation, academic research and contemporary culture, and counts ten Nobel Prize winners amongst its current and former members. Low, modern buildings and restful, open spaces give the College a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Applications in areas related to the interests of the Fellows of the College are especially encouraged.

Graduates are normally accommodated on the main College site in single rooms.

• Letting period: Minimum 38 weeks

St Catherine’s offers several Graduate Scholarships. There is also a research expenses fund and all graduates can claim £175 for each year they are enrolled and paying University and college fees for their current course, up to a maximum of three years.
