About Churchill College

One of Churchill College’s great strengths is how much it is able to provide on one site.

It’s the largest of all the Colleges and the size of 28 football pitches or 50 acres. There’s space for all Undergraduates and many Postgraduates to live as one big community with everything on their doorstep. You’ll find libraries, a dining hall and café-bar, as well as an impressive mix of free-to-use sport and leisure facilities. And with this amount of space, it’s easy to find a quiet spot too.

As well as beautiful parkland grounds, all Undergraduates are housed on site, and the majority of Postgraduates choose to live here too. With everything on the doorstep – including libraries, dining hall, café-bar, free-to-use gym, sport, arts and leisure facilities – it’s easy to be part of the Churchill community.

Another thing that makes Churchill College different is its focus on STEM subjects, with seventy percent of students studying science and technology. As the College is so large, arts and humanities are also well represented. Art is valued and embedded in campus life, through our Music Centre, sculpture collection and creative facilities.

Churchill College provides academic and pastoral support alongside a varied range of social activities, clubs and societies, reflecting the diverse activities our members enjoy. Students and staff highlight the College’s friendly atmosphere, the pick of facilities, and a ready-made community. Surrounded by parkland, the campus is bold, modernist and designed to help you get the most out of university life.

Churchill College is home to a community engaged in a wide range of activities.

All members of our community can use our gym, dining hall, cafe-bar, and creative workshops, and book our performance spaces and sports facilities. There are lots of opportunities to make connections and explore.

“You’ll be sat next to someone who’s doing an engineering project and you’re writing an essay on the Civil Rights Movement but it’s just really nice to have that kind of academic community”

– Katie, Student
