Fine Art

Magdalen accepts one Fine Art undergraduate each year. A college so conveniently near to the main building of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art attracts a considerable number of candidates. There is no in-college tuition for this subject, which all takes place at the Ruskin, but there are two college tutors who look after the Fine Art undergraduates’ interests, both academic and social. Magdalen also provides some extra studio space for its students in the form of a small summerhouse on the banks of the River Cherwell as well as a grant for the purchase of art materials.

All candidates must follow the standard application procedures as shown on the University of Oxford website. All candidates must also submit a portfolio to the Ruskin School by the date stated on the University of Oxford website. The portfolio is crucial to the admissions process.

In mid–late November we receive a list from the Ruskin School of the short-listed candidates. These applicants are then invited to Oxford for interview and the practical test. Candidates who are not short-listed will need to make arrangements for the collection of their portfolios from the Ruskin School.

Prospective candidates are warmly invited to attend one of the College's Open Days, which correspond with Open Days at the Ruskin School. For further information on Fine Art admissions please see
