The history of the College is rich going back to our foundation in 1458 but the atmosphere today is lively and modern. Extra-curricular activities by our students are strongly encouraged. We have excellent facilities and beautiful buildings and grounds. The accommodation provided for students is extensive and of a high standard. Our alumni make a vital contribution in supporting the College and we are delighted when they return to take part in the many events we organise.
We welcome students who have genuine academic potential irrespective of background and country of origin. Our tutorial system for undergraduate teaching is highly supportive and intellectually stimulating. Our Fellows and graduate students carry out research at the top level and after graduation many of our students take up important roles. The College has numerous famous alumni past and present and I hope you enjoy reading about them in these web pages.
