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’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. Two external colleges also accept Oxford's graduate students for theology and related courses.

Jesus College’s lively graduate community makes up 45% of the student body. The college is committed to offering its graduates the best possible support for their studies, through very generous research and book allowances, a range of grants, high-quality accommodation, a Graduate Study Room, and other facilities.
Keble’s home for graduate students, the H B Allen Centre, opened in 2018. Located just north of the college's main site on Parks Road, the centre combines graduate accommodation and facilities with space dedicated to research, innovation and start-ups. It raises the college’s provision for the graduate community to a new level.
St Hilda’s offers compelling reasons as a choice for graduate students: a commitment to excellence and equality, a stunning riverside location, a welcoming atmosphere, and a wealth of scholarships, grants and facilities. The college’s unique blend of upholding Oxford’s scholarly traditions while fostering a relaxed and accessible environment further distinguishes it as an exceptional institution.
