College Place

Oxford is a Collegiate University, in which every student of the University must also be a member of a college. For graduate students, a college typically provides subsidised accommodation and meals, library and computing facilities as well as sports equipment and a social centre, with a graduate common room, bar etc. On the Graduate Application Form you are requested to choose two colleges. However college places for taught MSc courses are in short supply, and there is no guarantee that you will be accepted by your chosen college but we will approach further colleges on your behalf. To maximise your chances of obtaining a place at the college of your choice, we recommend that you submit your application as early as possible. In addition, you might like to consider a college with which a member of the MSc teaching faculty is associated, for example:

Balliol College

Brasenose College

Christ Church College

Corpus Christi College

St Catherine's College

Further details of individual colleges can be found in the University Graduate Studies Prospectus
