St Anne's Achievements: 1878 to the present ...

  • The Association for the Education of Women, which later evolved into St Anne’s College, was one of the first academic establishments to enable women to study at Oxford University.
  • St Anne’s is one of the six largest colleges in Oxford University, with 429 undergraduate and 253 graduate students.
  • The College's Governing Body comprises 53 Fellows, 16 with professorial status, covering some 24 degree subjects.
  • St Anne’s can boast one of the two biggest College libraries in the University, available to all our students seven days a week, and with well over 110,000 volumes.
  • With the opening of the Ruth Deech Building (2005), St Anne’s is able to house almost all our undergraduates on the College site throughout their degree course.
  • The College was the first to offer day-care facilities for the children of staff and students.
  • St Anne’s was the first College in Oxford to establish a Middle Common Room for our graduate students.
  • The College was among the first of the women’s colleges to admit male Fellows (in 1978; male students followed in 1979), since when we have retained a healthily equal balance of male and female students.
  • St Anne’s conference business is among the two most successful in Oxford, enabling us to invest more in our educational resources.
  • The College admits students from the broadest range of educational backgrounds on the basis of academic potential.
