The College has a vibrant mathematical community, with five tutors and two distinguished professorial Fellows who work together to provide a varied and stimulating environment right across the mathematical sciences.

We have always recruited from a very wide range of schools within Britain as well as welcoming candidates from overseas, and our undergraduate body is enriched by this diversity of backgrounds. St Anne’s has one of the largest mathematical groups in any of the colleges. This group holds regular social events ranging from formal dinners with invited speakers to post-exam parties, all of which helps extend students' mathematical experience.

Our teaching strength in Mathematics allows us to provide tutorials within the College across the full range of the core syllabus. (For specialized teaching, especially at higher levels, we make use, as other colleges do, of an intercollegiate class scheme.)

All Computer Science lectures and practicals are provided centrally by the Computing Laboratory (Oxford’s Department of Computer Science).

All undergraduates studying Computer Science at St Anne's receive tutorials in College from Peter Jeavons and from Computer Science tutors in other colleges.

In the first year, all students have two or three tutorials each week, in addition to lectures and practicals, covering topics such as functional programming, data structures and algorithms. In the second year, tutorials are organized in the core topics, and optional courses are taught in centrally organized classes with up to 12 students.

All the course texts are available to students in the College Library, with enough copies for each student. St Anne’s is conveniently situated within a few minutes’ walk of the Mathematical Institute and other lecture venues and of the University's Radcliffe Science Library, as well as being one of the closest colleges to the Computing Laboratory, making it easy to get to lectures and practicals. It also provides excellent computing facilities in College, including good access to the University computer network in all College rooms.

Some of our Computer Science students have got involved in developing the computer network within the College, developing new software and helping students from other subjects. Others have got very involved in College sports and drama, or running their own websites. In the past few years several St Anne’s Mathematics and Computer Science graduates have taken advantage of a College scheme which allows them to spend a year in Japan after graduating, to experience a different culture with a strong commitment to technological development.

Many of our graduates go on to successful careers in the computing industry, or to higher degrees in this rapidly changing field. Others have used their computing and analytical skills in other careers such as accountancy, teaching and marketing.
