Our prestigious central Oxford location
We are proud to be located at some of the best spots in Oxford. From the modern boarding house to the cosy environment of our Administrative & Study Centre at Frewin Court and Cornmarket Street where our students attend lessons, workshops, seminars, and learn to be creative, unwind and enjoy what this city has to offer.
Frewin Court: Admin & Study Centre
The College Administration & Study Centre is housed here – in a four-story historic building where the famous Cornmarket Street meets George Street. It offers easy access to all the city has to offer: libraries, museums, shops, and cafés. The breath-taking views of the Dreaming Spires from the nearby St Michael’s Tower are particularly impressive—it’s always worth a visit! Alongside small-group and one-to-one teaching, this is also where the College hosts many of its events, including talks, debates, and other student clubs.
Cherwell House: Boarding Accommodation
Cherwell House is where our residential students enjoy much of their free time. It is a modern, purpose-built accommodation facility located within a short walking distance of the College Administration & Study Centre (Frewin Court & Cornmarket). All students occupy single, en-suite rooms, ensuring the ultimate in comfortable living conditions.
Science Labs
The science subjects are taught primarily at Frewin Court, adjacent to the Oxford Union, which provides comprehensive facilities for students taking theoretical science components. Students undertaking practical endorsements in Physics can do so at Frewin Court, whereas those studying Biology and Chemistry complete their practical endorsements at state-of-the-art BioGrad facilities, either in London or Birmingham.
The Art Studio
The Art Faculty is based at Cornmarket Street and is equipped with all the necessary teaching materials for students studying Fine Art. This is where our students create their outstanding artwork, much of it as part of their coursework, but also as part of our regular student Art Club.
And, even more: The Oxford Union
Our students have privileged access to the Oxford Union, our neighbour at Frewin Court. Students can make use of the university’s world-famous library and attend the Union’s prestigious debates and events.

We strongly support and believe in the unique development of each individual, and strive to ensure that all of our students achieve their fullest potential by providing a positive learning environment that encourages confidence, discipline and ability to think independently.
