St Hilda's College
About the college
St Hilda’s is situated a short walk from Oxford city centre, on the East bank of the River Cherwell; with the University Sports Centre and the vibrant Cowley Road, full of cafes, music venues, bars and global cuisines, on its doorstep.
All first years live on the main college site and can choose to live in college accommodation for the entirety of their degree. Shared kitchen facilities are available, and our beautiful dining hall overlooking the river offers a variety of food that is sustainable, local and seasonal.
At St Hilda’s, we’re friendly, inclusive, and welcoming. As a medium-sized college among the University of Oxford colleges, you'll find we're small enough for you to easily make friends, yet large enough to offer a diverse range of students, tutors, and courses, along with outstanding facilities.

The college is a caring academic community, with passionate and supportive tutors, a dedicated welfare team, and one of the most extensive college library collections in Oxford.
We also offer a generous range of bursaries and financial awards for academic work, travel, sport, and other activities to help you make the most of your time here. Regardless of your background, we want you to become a part of our community, feel like you belong, settle in quickly, and go on to achieve your full potential.
