Who Studies Here and How They Learn
Our courses at St Anne’s College are designed for learners aged 18–24 who want to explore their chosen subject in more depth. With around 40 students per course and seminar groups capped at eight, the experience is focused, interactive, and intellectually enriching.
We use a tutorial-style teaching model inspired by the Oxford and Cambridge system. Students complete two pieces of independent work during the course (essays or problem sheets) and explore their thinking further through 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials with their tutor. These sessions provide constructive feedback, academic challenge, and space to reflect—building confidence and insight. On completion, students receive a certificate and a letter of recommendation from their tutor.
Accommodation and Facilities
Students stay in single bedrooms located across a variety of modern buildings on the main St Anne’s College site. Bathrooms are shared between 4–6 students depending on the accommodation block, and all bed linen and towels are provided. While kitchens are available in some areas, they are not guaranteed for student use, and cooking equipment or crockery is not provided.
The college also offers open lawns, shared social areas, on-site dining and laundry facilities, and easy access to the best of Oxford—from academic spaces to peaceful parks and cafés. It’s a calm, independent environment, perfect for older students who want the freedom to focus on their studies and immerse themselves in university-style living.
