Mansfield College, University of Oxford
A welcoming academic community within the world’s leading University, Mansfield is the college at Oxford best known for being open, progressive and inclusive.
Since its founding in the 1880s as a non-conformist theological college, Mansfield is proud of its achievements in welcoming previously excluded constituencies to Oxford University. It is now the Oxford College with the highest proportion of students from state schools (on average 95% of its UK undergraduate intake year on year); of students who are the first in their families to go to University; and who come from the least advantaged backgrounds.
