About Worcester

Welcome to the website for Worcester College, University of Oxford. We hope you will find plenty to interest you in these pages, whether you are thinking of applying to study here, are a former student of the College, are looking for a conference venue, or are simply curious.

Worcester is a happy blend of ancient and modern. Its buildings range in age from 15th-century medieval cottages to accommodation blocks constructed in the 21st Century, and the Library, Chapel and Dining Hall were all created by some of Britain's finest 18th and 19th century architects. Although it is close to the city and university centres, and to the coach and bus stations, it is set in 26 acres of beautiful gardens and wooded grounds, which include on-site sports fields.

The College welcomes diversity amongst its students, staff and visitors, recognising the particular contributions to the College that can be made by individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Further information is provided in the College's Equal Opportunities Policy Statement.
