About the college

At the heart of the city, Jesus College is known as one of the friendliest of Oxford’s colleges.

We’re an inclusive and informal place, where the well-being and success of our students are our highest priorities. To instil this sense of community, all of our undergraduates can live in college accommodation for their entire degrees.

Jesus College students can enjoy the best possible education, whatever their backgrounds. We aim to support applicants with freely available resources on YouTube. Generous access bursaries are available for any student in financial need. This money does not need to be repaid, and is given on top of University bursaries.

To maintain high standards, there are also awards to recognise academic achievement and progress, as well as support for extracurricular activities. It is little wonder that the College has been voted amongst the best for student satisfaction since 2010.

Jesus College has had Welsh connections since its founding in 1571, although our students now come from all over the UK and abroad.

In 2022, we opened the Cheng Yu Tung Building on our historic site, which houses new study and teaching spaces, graduate facilities, a multi-faith prayer room, and a café. We are due to open an onsite gym in 2024. At the heart of the building is the Digital Hub, an interdisciplinary education, research and events space that hosts events throughout the academic year.

Jesus College is...

'…a truly inclusive, colourful and empowered community where we look after each other.'
Peter

'...never the same. One day I may be debating with scholars in Jesus’ law library; the next I will be playing for promotion in the College’s football team.'
Kush

'...the place where the Jesus College Access Bursary has allowed me to continue my studies without fear of not making ends meet.'
Anon

'...my home. In just two short terms it made me into a proud Jesubite!'

Link areas

In order to ensure that all areas of the UK are fully supported by the University of Oxford, our colleges are working together to establish Oxford for UK, a series of regional outreach programmes offering tailored and local support to students of mixed ages, their parents and teachers.

Getting in touch with the college linked to your region has no influence on your chances of being accepted to this or any other particular college. You are also very welcome to get in touch with any other college for advice about applying or studying here.

Jesus College is part of Oxford Cymru / Oxford for Wales.
