St Edmund Hall
About the college
St Edmund Hall is home to a large, diverse and inclusive community. Renowned for our friendly and relaxed atmosphere, we are nevertheless firmly committed to academic excellence and opportunity.
The Hall’s intake of approximately 110 undergraduates, selected on merit and irrespective of background, comprises students with academic ability, passion for their subjects and the potential to excel. Known across the University as ‘Teddy Hall’, the origins of the College can be traced back to the 13th century.
Today it is a beautiful blend of the old and new. St Edmund Hall has buildings dating from every century since the 16th. This includes the atmospheric college library set in the reconfigured Norman church of St Peter-in-the-East.
We have thriving sports teams, as well as a long tradition in music, creative writing and journalism. We provide college grants and awards to fund academic materials, travel and extra-curricular activities, as well as prizes for high achieving students.
