Students at Wadham College

Wadham is one of the larger colleges. Our Student Union provides facilities and support for students and organises charity, cultural, entertainment and welfare events.

Students have access to excellent facilities, including a 24-hour library with over 40,000 texts. There are frequent productions in our theatre and in the Holywell Music Room. Sports facilities include a gym, badminton and squash courts, a boathouse and a sports ground with pavilion.

Wadham undergraduates are normally offered accommodation for the standard duration of their studies (3 or 4 years), including two years on the main college site. An exciting new building, which opened in 2020, provides a visionary undergraduate centre, complete with music room, arts room, café, bar, social and study space, situated at the heart of the college. High-quality and affordable meals on the main site are available to all students.

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.

Wadham College is part of Oxford for East England.
