WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING A COLLEGE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS THINGS TO CONSIDER. FIRST AND FOREMOST, AN UNDERSTANDING OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY’S COLLEGIATE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE A FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO BASE AN INFORMED CHOICE. THE FOLLOWING INTRODUCTION GIVES AN IDEA OF HOW THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITY WORK TOGETHER AND WHAT FACTORS MIGHT AFFECT STUDENTS’ COLLEGE CHOICES. SUBSEQUENT PAGES PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF EACH COLLEGE AND THEIR VITAL STATISTICS.

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,

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.

MAKING A CHOICE

*Not all colleges and halls offer accommodation to Saïd Business School students and where it is provided it is usually allocated on a first come first served basis.

“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.

Radcliffe Square, Oxford OX1 4AJ +44 (0)1865 277510

Interesting fact: There have been several interpretations of Oxford’s oddest college name. One is that it’s derived from ‘brasen huis’ (brewhouse) but the most likely explanation is that it refers to a ‘brazen’ (brass or bronze) door knocker in the shape of a nose found in the college Hall. Most students however, know the college simply as “BNC”.

Interesting fact: In the 1960s Balliol students led an abortive coup in which the college was seized and renamed the “People’s Republic of Balliol”.
