About us

At Keble, we are proud to have students from all backgrounds and every corner of the globe. We’ll assist you not only in studying your chosen subject - and we offer a wide range - but in progressing beyond your degree in your chosen career destination. When you join a college, it can be the beginning of a lifelong association. 

Keble’s striking Victorian architecture houses some of the best student accommodation in Oxford, while our beautiful dining hall (the longest in Oxford) allows the college to maintain the tradition of dining together on both informal and formal occasions.

Our students pride themselves on being welcoming and friendly. You won’t find a Keble ‘type’, but you will find a supportive environment made up of students from a range of different backgrounds.

'…one of the friendliest places you can be in Oxford, while at the same time being so big and lively! Students and staff alike are always happy to help with anything, making it such a supportive academic and social environment.'

Do you choose a college?

Not exactly. You can put a college's campus code on your UCAS form to specify a preference but you might still be shortlisted and offered a place by another college.
