Visiting the colleges

Here you will find information on opening times and admission charges, where these apply, for the colleges and permanent private halls of Oxford University, and links to their individual websites.

If you are interested in studying at Oxford University, please see our information for prospective students including information on colleges for prospective undergraduates.

In light of current government advice on coronavirus, many venues are not currently open to the public. Until further notice, opening times still listed here will almost certainly not be valid.
