St Peter's College
St Peter’s is known for its friendliness, informality, good humour, excellent relations between students and tutors and its strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. Located in the heart of central Oxford, the College offers a wide range of subjects and welcomes students from all backgrounds and all parts of the world.
All freshers are accommodated in single study bedrooms on the main site. Attractive, en-suite college residences, with communal kitchens, are located close by for students in other year groups. A delicious range of food is available three times a day at subsidised prices in the beautiful college Dining Hall. The student-run bar and flourishing programme of community activities adds to the warmth of college life. Both the college library and the dedicated law library are open 24/7. A student finance officer, and hardship funds, are available to help support students.
A wide range of sports is played at St Peter’s. The college has access to shared sports facilities, including a boathouse and subsidised gym membership.
Music, the arts and college publications thrive and distinguished speakers regularly give talks. The college supports a lively instrumental and jazz performance programme and its wonderful mixed-voice choir continues the college’s strong choral tradition.
