St Peter's College
St Peter’s is noted for its friendliness, flexibility, inclusivity, informality and excellent relations between students and tutors. We encourage students from all backgrounds to apply. A student finance officer is available to help students.
Accommodation includes single study bedrooms on the main site and purpose-built ensuite residences (with small communal kitchens) a short walk away. A delicious range of food is available three times a day on a pay-as-you-go system. There is also a student-run bar. The library is open 24 hours a day and has a dedicated law library.
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.
Artistic activities and college publications flourish and distinguished speakers regularly give talks. Music is a particular strength, with a strong instrumental, mixed choral and jazz tradition.
