Brasenose College
About the college
Situated in Radcliffe Square, Brasenose is a friendly college at the heart of the University and city.
We are able to accommodate undergraduates in single rooms for all years of study at our main site or nearby Frewin complex. Brasenose provides delicious and affordable food in our 16th-century dining hall. There are also shared kitchens at Frewin. Our lively bar is a fantastic place to relax.
We hold an annual summer week-long arts festival plus many more music, arts, sports and society events throughout the year. Our students run many special events including Chinese New Year and Burns Night celebrations, charity auctions, diversity workshops, fancy-dress parties and more.
Brasenose’s libraries are open 24 hours a day. We have our own sports ground and boathouse, and a large common room with entertainment of many kinds. Brasenose is an inclusive and diverse community where all members of the college family support each other.
