University of Oxford colleges

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Oxford has 39 colleges (including Reuben College, founded May 7, 2019) and six Permanent Private Halls (PPHs) run by Christian denominations. Colleges and PPHs are autonomous and legal entities within the university. In addition to serving as student accommodation, colleges have an essential responsibility in teaching students. Tutorials (one of the main methods of teaching at Oxford) and classroom teaching are organized by the colleges, while lectures, exams, laboratories and the central library are organized by the university. Usually, most of the tutorials take place in the student's college, but often tutorials for some modules are only offered at other colleges or directly by the faculty. Most colleges accept both undergraduate and postgraduate students, while some only accept postgraduate students.

A typical college consists of a dining room, chapel, library, college bar, common rooms, student accommodation for 200 to 400 students, and quarters for the head of the college. The college buildings are medieval to modern, most consist of interconnected Gevierten ( English : Quads), a concierge external access controlled.

history

The college system of the University of Oxford arose from the agglomeration of numerous independent institutions. Various types of colleges have emerged and disappeared over the centuries.

Monastic halls

The first academic houses were monasteries . Of the dozen that were founded between the 12th and 15th centuries, none survived the Reformation . The modern Dominican- run Permanent Private Hall, Blackfriars (1921) is a descendant of the original (1221) and is sometimes described as the heir to the oldest tradition of teaching at Oxford.

Medieval halls

When the university was taking shape, a decree was issued that all students must live in "halls" (German: halls). What finally put an end to the medieval halls was the emergence of colleges. Often generously equipped with permanent teaching staff, the colleges were originally reserved for postgraduates . However, when they began accepting fee-paying Bachelor students in the 14th century , the relevance of the Halls declined. Of the hundreds of halls that have been built, only St. Edmund Hall , founded around 1225, remains .

Colleges

Engraving of the University College - one of the oldest colleges in the university

The oldest colleges are University College , Balliol College, and Merton College , which were founded between 1249 and 1264. However, the order is controversial as it is unclear exactly when teaching at the colleges began. The fourth oldest college is Exeter College, founded in 1314, and the fifth oldest is Oriel College , founded in 1326.

Women's colleges

Women were allowed to enter the university with the opening of Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville College in 1879 and became full members of the university in 1920. Other women's colleges were St. Anne's College , St. Hilda's, and St. Hugh's . In 1974, Brasenose , Hertford , Jesus , St. Catherine's, and Wadham were the first men's colleges to allow women. In 2008 all colleges accepted women as well as men, with the exception of St. Benet's, which as a permanent private hall did not admit the first female students until 2014.

Postgraduate Colleges

Some colleges such as Kellogg , Linacre , Nuffield , St. Antony's , St. Cross, and Wolfson only accept postgraduate students. All Souls only accepts fellows . Harris Manchester is designed for students aged 21 and over. A new college for postgraduate students, Reuben College , was founded and is planned to be launched in 2019 and will be welcoming its first students to the Radcliffe Science Library premises in 2021.

Societies

Kellogg , Reuben and St Cross are the only Oxford colleges without a Royal Charter . They are officially “societies” of the university and not independent colleges, which is why they are regarded as departments of the university for accounting purposes.

Permanent private halls

The Universities Tests Act of 1871 allowed all men who were not members of the Church of England to obtain degrees and positions from universities. This enabled Catholics and nonconformists to open private educational institutions. The first Roman Catholic private halls were Clarkes Hall (now Campion Hall), opened by the Jesuit Order in 1896 , and Hunter Blairs Hall (now St. Benet's Hall), opened by the Benedictine Order in 1899 . In 1918 the university passed a resolution that allowed private halls to become permanently part of the university as long as they were not run for profit.

College rivalries

A tradition of the university is the amicable rivalry between the colleges. Often, two neighboring colleges are rivals who mainly compete in sports. Notable examples include:
