Is Magdalen right for you?

We offer excellent teaching in beautiful surroundings, accommodation in a College room for the duration of your course, broad opportunities for arts and sports and a lively, inclusive, student community.

The most important quality shared by Magdalen students is high academic potential – i.e. an intelligent, enthusiastic and independent-minded interest in their chosen subject and a commitment to work at it. If you identify with this quality, you will enjoy and benefit from studying at Magdalen.

In all other respects our students are very diverse. We select undergraduates only on the basis of their academic merit and aptitude, and we are absolutely committed to equality of opportunity.
