Beautiful spaces

Our historic Oxfordian architecture sits amidst contemporary facilities and picturesque outdoor spaces. Mansfield is perfectly situated in a quiet yet very central spot – close to the science parks, libraries, and city centre – with one of the biggest Junior Common Rooms (JCRs) in Oxford.

Close knit-community

We think we offer a wonderful College experience for our community to learn and grow together – with 24-hour libraries and accommodation for all years of undergraduate study. Plus 13 clubs and societies, two College cats, and vegetarian and vegan food twice voted the best in Oxford.

For our People. For our Place. For our Culture.
