About the college

Boasting a strong sense of community and a friendly atmosphere, Corpus Christi is one of Oxford’s older colleges. It prides itself on a strong tradition of openness, tolerance and fairness.

Corpus Christi combines history with modernity. The college’s magnificent 16th-century library with over 60,000 books, 24-hour opening, online catalogues and WiFi access, is both a convenient and beautiful place to work.

Students have access to a sports field and boathouse, entertainment rooms, a Junior Common Room (JCR), and the Beer Cellar. There is also an auditorium suitable for lectures, concerts, theatrical productions, and parties.

Among the most active of the many clubs are the dramatic society – the Owlets – the choir, and the rowing and rugby teams. Students' welfare plays a central role in daily life with a tea and biscuit break provided every afternoon, apart from Saturdays. On Saturdays a more substantial ‘welfare tea’ is provided with a selection of food and drinks, and opportunity for discussion and support.

Corpus has an impressive social calendar with a Ball every other spring and a fair each June, which features the college’s famous tortoise race!
