Oxford’s colleges have a lot in common. However, each college is unique, and this rich variety is part of what makes the Oxford experience so special. Most graduate students quickly settle in and enjoy their college, even if they chose another college as their preference.

Choosing theBest PATH

Whatever you decide, it won’t affect how the academic department assesses your application and whether they decide to make you an offer. If your department makes you an offer of a place, you’re guaranteed a college place as well.

If you think that you might like to indicate a college preference, the individual college pages on this website will give you key information about each one. Every college also has a dedicated website where you can find out more about the college’s community, features and facilities.

Oxford scholarships worth over £1,000, including college scholarships, are included in our Fees, Funding and Scholarship Search. You can use this search to identify the small number of college scholarships where an additional application is required.

Choosing theBest WAY

As a graduate student, your course structure, content, teaching and supervision will be arranged by your University department, and will be the same regardless of which college you belong to.

Learn more about stating a college preference on your application form in our Application Guide. For more information about the college allocation process and getting a college place, visit our decision timeline.

‘College’ and ‘colleges’ refers to all 43 of the University’s colleges, including those designated as societies and permanent private halls (PPHs).

The vast majority of college scholarships don't require you to select that college as your preference. For these scholarships, each college will consider all eligible applicants who apply by the deadline, regardless of any college preference. If you're selected for one of these scholarships, we'll move your application to the relevant college.

Choosing theBest LIFE

Many of our graduate applicants express a college preference on their application form, but around 40% of applicants don’t give a college preference, and instead ask us to find them a college place.

When you're selecting your preferred college from the options available for your course, you might want to consider some of these factors:

If you do choose a college, you may receive an offer from a college that is different to the one you stated as your preference. This may be because the college has filled its places or already has sufficient numbers of applicants from your subject area.

ROS-Industrial is an open source project that extends the advanced capabilities of the Robot Operating System (ROS) software to manufacturing.

The ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas Team will be exhibiting within the Southwest Research Institute exhibit space. We will have developer team members on hand and be demonstrating an advanced motion planning capability within the space that highlights some of the recent developments within the ROS-Industrial open-source project.

Oxford's colleges are multidisciplinary, but not all courses may be offered at each college. Each course page lists the colleges that will accept applications for that course on the ‘College preference’ tab.

If you’re applying for a research course, please note that it isn’t necessary to be at the same college as your proposed supervisor.
