Welcome to

the University
of Oxford

For more than 800 years

colleges have existed around
the city of Oxford. They
began as medieval halls of
residence for students under
the supervision of a Master. The
oldest colleges, University, Balliol and
Merton, were founded in the late 13th
century. Green Templeton College is the newest and
was established in 2008. Today, 38 colleges are related to the
University in a type of federal system.

SHOPPING AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
THE UNIVERSITY OF
OXFORD SHOP
The official University of Oxford Shop offers a wide
range of stylish gifts, clothing, jewellery and more...

Colleges are communities in which students live and study.

They are the main focus of their everyday lives. The college is
responsible for students academic progress through the tutorial
system, and for their welfare. Each college has its own sports
facilities and teams. In addition, there is the opportunity to join
University teams and take part in competitions such as the
world-famous Boat Race.
Each college offers most of the subjects taught at the
University, so at any college there will be students studying
different subjects such as law, medicine and maths.
All colleges accept male and female students. All Souls is
primarily an academic research institution and traditionally has
no undergraduates. Harris Manchester recruits mature students.
Linacre, Nuffield, St Antonys, St Cross, Wolfson and Green
Templeton admit only graduate students. Kellogg College supports
the Universitys lifelong learning work through opportunities for
adult, part-time and professional development students.
The Department for Continuing Education offers more than
800 short or part-time study courses. Students can study in
Oxford, in the region or online, for pleasure and/or for an Oxford
qualification. For more information about lifelong learning at
Oxford, you can pick up a prospectus from Rewley House,
Wellington Square or telephone 01865 270360.

Oxford is
a beautiful city of
stunning architecture,
history and culture. Youll
find ancient and modern
colleges, fascinating museums
and galleries, and plenty of
parks, gardens and green spaces
in which to relax. Plus, the city
centre is small enough to cover on
foot, and only a few minutes walk
from the main rail and coach stations.

University is making reasonable adjustments wherever
possible to improve accessibility. The Access Guide at

accessibility issues, but to make the most of your visit we
suggest you contact the college, museum etc. directly.
