St Anne's College has as its foremost objectives academic study, learning and research.

We foster these by being an egalitarian and open college, by having significant teaching strengths in all subjects offered at admission, and by maintaining a large undergraduate library. 

While our core purpose is to provide the focus for your intellectual life, the college also becomes your home, providing accommodation, meals, societies, sports, and so on.

The collegiate environment is unsurpassed as one in which to make new friends with perhaps similar, perhaps dissimilar interests; but certainly all with the same zest for enquiry and eagerness to be challenged.
