About the college
St Peter’s is home to a welcoming and international postgraduate community of students pursuing taught and research degrees across the University’s academic divisions. Postgraduates benefit from Oxford’s specialist academic environment alongside the close-knit, multidisciplinary life of a college community.
The college’s Middle Common Room (MCR) is central to postgraduate student life. It is both a dedicated social space in the heart of college and the collective body of postgraduate students. The MCR is represented by an elected committee that supports students’ interests and organises a varied programme of social, cultural, academic and wellbeing events.
Postgraduates are invited to be active members of the college’s academic community. Students may showcase their research at termly interdisciplinary seminars, and each week a rotating group of postgraduate students is invited to dine at high table with the Master and Fellows, providing opportunities to network, discuss their studies and forge connections across disciplines.
