Wycliffe Hall

Wycliffe Hall is a centre for evangelical Christian life and study within the University of Oxford. Its tutors and alumni have a strong record of research and publication in a wide range of aspects of Theology.

Many of Wycliffe’s students are training for Christian ministry (especially within the Anglican Church), normally involving the study of first degrees or diplomas in theology. However, for those who already have degrees in theology, it is possible to combine training for Christian ministry with graduate study. Others come to Wycliffe purely to work towards postgraduate research degrees. Wycliffe Hall places a strong emphasis on Christian community and commitment, and graduate students are encouraged to play an active part in that community, as far as the nature of their course allows.

Applicants who are considering Wycliffe as their college choice are strongly advised to contact the Hall directly, and should do so in any case for the Hall’s own application form which must be completed in addition to the University Graduate admission form.

Applicants are interviewed at some point after a University place has been offered. Please contact the Hall for further details and likely dates.
