College listing
Graduate study at Oxford is a distinctive experience: all graduate students are members of both a department or faculty in their subject area and a multidisciplinary college.
Oxford colleges accepting graduate students
Oxford’s colleges, including those designated as societies and permanent private halls (PPHs), are small academic communities where graduate students meet academics and fellow students in a range of subjects from around the world. Several colleges are dedicated to graduate students only and provide uniquely tailored college support for over one third of our graduate population.
The colleges are initially shown in a random order to encourage you to explore the whole range of Oxford colleges, rather than only those which appear at the start of an alphabetical list.
