students and where it is
provided it is usually
allocated on a first come
first served basis.
02 Getting started
What is a college?
The collegiate system, considered to be at the heart of Oxford University’s
success, affords students the benefits of belonging to both a large,
internationally renowned institution – the University – and a smaller,
interdisciplinary academic college community. Colleges and Halls select
graduate students after they are admitted by Oxford University. This means that,
in addition to being a member of a University Department (in this case, the Saïd
Business School), students are also members of one of Oxford’s many colleges
How many colleges are there to choose from?
Oxford University is made up of 38 independent, co-ed colleges and six
permanent private halls, which largely run their own affairs, have their own
funds and have a strong intellectual and social life. The six Permanent Private
Halls (PPH) today function largely like colleges, accepting students from
multiple disciplines but they have Christian founders and some have an
enduring religious character. The majority of colleges and halls accept graduates
and undergraduates but seven take only graduate students; 35 accept students
from Saïd Business School. Colleges average 200-500 members and the total
number of students spread across the University is 20,000 including around
11,700 undergraduates and around 8,100 postgraduates.
What does a college do for me?
Think of a college as a home. Colleges and Halls can provide accommodation*,
meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social facilities, pastoral care,
health and welfare for their students. The University supervises exams, awards
degrees, determines the content of courses and organises lectures and seminars.
All colleges are now co-ed, some with specific strengths of discipline (medical
science, languages, literature etc).
Do I have to be a member of a college and why?
Unless you are applying for a non-matriculated course (as a visiting student
who will not be awarded a degree by the University), you will need a college
place. So you have to be a member of a college (or a PPH) to attend the
University of Oxford but you gain membership after you have been offered a
place on a programme of study rather than it being a prerequisite. The University
and the colleges go hand in hand; one cannot exist without the other.
Will my choice of college affect the teaching process?
Teaching is done centrally at the Saïd Business School and not the colleges.
Your choice of college does not affect the teaching you will receive.
What does the college membership fee pay for?
It covers academic facilities and other services provided by your college. The fee
does not include accommodation or meal charges and is payable in addition to
the University tuition fee. Each college sets its own fee, although rates do not
vary greatly between individual colleges. As a guide, the college fees for 2008–
09 were: MBA £3,000; All other Diplomas, Certificates, Masters, BPhil, MPhil,

MAKING
A CHOICE
“MCR” – Middle Common
Room. The term refers to
both a university or student
body as well as the physical
space they are able to
congregate socially.
So, the Senior Common
Room (SCR) is for
academics/faculty, the
Middle Common Room
(MCR) is for post-grads
and Junior Common Room
(JCR) is for under-grads.
In the following college
pages “common room”
refers to the MCR.
03 Making a choice
MSc, MLitt, and DPhil £1,900-£2,320. The EMBA college membership fee is
included in the overall programme cost.
Will I have a college tutor and what will they do?
Your college will have a Tutor for Graduates who overseas all graduate members
of the college. Teaching and supervision takes place in a student’s academic
department (the Business School) but every graduate has a college adviser
who is chosen from among the Fellows (the University’s academic body).
Advisers do not teach their wards but in most cases will have experience of
teaching graduate students. An adviser can therefore often help a graduate
sort out difficulties with studies or with a course as well as helping with purely
college difficulties.
Which colleges are good for networking?
This entirely depends on your interests and outlook. You might consider the
number of Business School students attending a college to be a deciding factor
but this may very well turn out to be one of the less important aspects, not least
as you will be spending much of your time with Saïd students during your
studies. Belonging to one of Oxford’s colleges affords students and alumni the
benefits of the University’s reach, which extends far beyond the Saïd Business
School and its networks. Each Oxford college has its own community of experts
and many colleges have a regular programme of distinguished visiting speakers.
Chance encounters and connections made outside the business field often
produce the most useful contacts – in many respects this is why Oxford’s unique
collegiate system is so widely successful. A college’s focus (is it strong in the
arts, sciences or sports?) will probably be more useful when deciding on what
kinds of students you want to surround yourself with.
How long will it take to get from the School to the college?
This might be a key factor in deciding which college to choose. Oxford is
small and most colleges are no more than about a 15-minutes walk from
the city centre and Saïd Business School. However, much of the graduate
accommodation is off-site and can therefore be slightly further from central
Oxford. (See each college entry for specific details).
Am I guaranteed accommodation?
You can either rent privately or apply for college accommodation*. Some
colleges offer accommodation to individuals, couples and/or families. This may
be on campus, within the college grounds or located around Oxford (see each
college entry for specific details).
The standard of the accommodation and distance from the college site and the
Business School will vary greatly for each college. If accommodation is not
offered by your college, you will need to make alternative private arrangements.
The School can assist you in sourcing alternative accommodation but does not
guarantee to find it for you and will not arrange that accommodation on your behalf.

VIEW MAP St John’s was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas White, a wealthy London
merchant. Academically one of Oxford’s most successful colleges, St John’s
attracts students from a wide range of backgrounds who enjoy a lively, stimulating
and supportive atmosphere. It is an extremely popular college for graduates,
who make up approximately 40 per cent of the student community. Although
primarily a producer of Anglican clergymen in the earlier periods of its history,
St John’s also gained a reputation for both law and medicine. Former British
Prime Minister, Tony Blair is an alumnus.
VIEW MAP Founded in 1928, St Peter’s College is an inclusive, tolerant and open academic
community taking women and men from a wide variety of backgrounds and many
different countries. The college occupies a compact site in the centre of Oxford,
within a few minutes’ walk of the Bodleian Library. St Peter’s has one of the
smaller MCRs in Oxford, numbering between 100 and 150 members. However
despite its size, it is a lively and cosmopolitan group with members from around
the world studying for a variety of masters degrees and doctorates in both the arts
and sciences.

 Founded in 1714, Worcester College occupies 26 acres of wooded gardens,
with a lake and playing fields within its grounds and yet is only a few minutes
walk from the city centre. It is often referred to as “Oxford’s best kept secret”
as few know the college and its extensive grounds are tucked away behind its
rather innocuous façade just to the north of the centre. The library, chapel and
dining hall were created by some of Britain’s finest eighteenth and nineteenth
century architects. Residential accommodation ranges from picturesque
15th-century monks’ cottages to award-winning modern rooms.
