For more than 600 years, New College
has been helping talented students to
make the most of their abilities. Situated
in the heart of Oxford, our main site is
one of the most beautiful in Oxford,
boasting spectacular gardens set against
the medieval city wall.
Founded by William of Wykeham in 1379, New
College has grown to become one of Oxford’s
largest Colleges, admitting undergraduate
students for nearly all subjects on offer at the
University.
New College has changed quite dramatically
over the centuries in physical appearance, in
size, in the subjects we teach, and in the careers
our students go on to. However, the one thing
that has not changed is our purpose; helping
students to make the most of their abilities and
to go on to successful, fulfilling futures.

WELCOME
5. 5
At New College we seek to admit students
with the most academic potential.
There are around 420 undergraduate students studying at
New College. Students make friends and share interests
across subject and year groups, creating a real sense
of community. A large proportion of our students live
in College accommodation, and College is where our
students work, eat, and socialise, so life at New College
forms a significant part of their University experience.
Learning and scholarship are our primary focus, but the
College also has an exceptionally rich sporting, cultural,
and musical life.
We are fortunate to have our own sports ground and
pavilion just five minutes away from the main College
site, with pitches for rugby, football, and hockey, as well
as an all-weather court for netball and basketball. In the
summer there is a cricket pitch and grass and hard courts
for tennis. The sports pavilion also has two squash courts
and changing room facilities. The College also owns a
boathouse on the banks of the River Thames.
Musicians are also extremely well-catered for during
their time in New College. In College, we have several
practice rooms with pianos and students may use the
“Band Room” which contains a drum kit, keyboard,
amplifiers, microphones, decks and a PA system. The
magnificent New College Chapel provides our students
with a wonderful concert venue and work is currently
being done on The Clore Music Studio which will provide
practice space for all undergraduates.
Many of our students also become involved in drama
whilst at the College, and regularly put on plays in our
120-seat fourteenth-century “Long Room”. In the summer
term, the cloisters become the setting for the College’s
annual productions.
Students also have full use of the Junior Common Room,
the College bar, and the beautiful gardens.
The combination of these factors means that New College
has a relaxed, friendly, and open atmosphere, with an
actively engaged student body.
6. 6
THE HISTORY OF
New College was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham,
Bishop of Winchester, to provide higher education for
the clergy. Following the College’s foundation, senior
fellows taught the juniors, marking the beginning of a
formal tutorial system. The provision of religious services,
chaplains and choristers were central to Wykeham’s
scheme and the choir and choir school persist to this day.
Over the centuries some reconstruction and much new
building has taken place. In the nineteenth century,
reforms created the essence of the modern College,
which freely admitted undergraduates; there were nearly
300 in residence by 1900. The New Buildings along
Holywell Street were built (1873-96) to house them.
Fellows were allowed to marry (1868) and began to have
careers as researchers and tutors. New College pioneered
intercollegiate lectures with Balliol (1868), and a new
academic, intellectual, and sporting prominence was
achieved.
The twentieth century saw the steady increase in graduates
studying for higher degrees, and today graduates
constitute over a third of the student body. Further
changes in the statutes permitted the College to elect its
first woman fellow in 1974 and in 1979 the first women
undergraduates were admitted. Today, the College is a
self-governing community within the University of Oxford.
Most Fellows are engaged in academic research as well
as teaching, and many of them are leading experts in
their subject areas. The College is a place in which staff
and students alike engage in a lively exchange of ideas
encompassing a vast range of subjects.
New College has a varied and interesting history and we very much
hope that, one day, you will help to form part of its future.
8. 8
New College is committed to the admission of students solely on the basis of academic criteria.
Candidates need to have a strong academic record and show academic potential. They must also be
able to work accurately under pressure, think critically and independently, using both imagination and
logic and, above all else, have a real passion for their field of study.
When we interview potential students, we are attempting
to see how prepared candidates are to go beyond their
school work, and to engage with interviewers, to re-think
their understanding, and to tackle difficult problems
including some which don’t have a definite answer. We are
looking for any students with these capabilities, regardless
of their background.
Admissions requirements and procedures are not
described in detail in this prospectus because they are set
by the University, and are the same for each Oxford
college. Full details of the application process can be
found on the University website: http://www.ox.ac.uk/
admissions/undergraduate. If you choose to apply to New
College, your application will be forwarded to us by the
University.
However, we are always happy to answer any questions
you might have about the admissions process and you
can contact the Access and Admissions Administrator at
admissions@new.ox.ac.uk.

Students with additional needs
New College will make every effort to
accommodate students with additional needs.
However, the College, like many others in the
University, is made up of very old buildings,
which can make access difficult for some
applicants. We would encourage applicants
with disabilities to make contact with our Home
Bursar or Academic Registrar to discuss how
we can support you throughout the application
process, and during your time as a student:

11. 11
Ancient & Modern History: BA
3 YEARS
Applicants for this course are assessed against applicants
for Modern History. Knowledge of Latin or Greek is not
required for entry, but familiarity with one, or another
ancient language at any level, can be helpful. Prior study of
Ancient History is not a requirement. New College would
normally expect successful applicants to be taking History
A-Level, or its equivalent qualification.
Places available per year: 1
Biochemistry (Molecular and Cellular):
MBiochem
4 YEARS
This course should be particularly attractive to students with
an interest in understanding biological phenomena at the
cellular and molecular level. A flair for Chemistry, as well
as an interest in living systems, is essential. The course,
as a whole, provides a rigorous training in the subject that
underpins much of the rapid progress that is now taking
place in the life sciences.
Places available per year: 3 or 4
Biological Sciences: BA
3 YEARS
This course should be particularly attractive to those with
a wide-ranging interest in Biology. We look for a strong
science background at A-Level (or equivalent) and for
engagement, curiosity and analytical thought at interview.
We ask for AAA*, with A* in a science or maths.
Places available per year: 4
Biomedical Sciences: BA
3 YEARS
Biomedical Scientists focus on how cells, organs, and
systems function in the human body; an exciting and
dynamic area that is highly relevant to the understanding
and treatment of human diseases. Although Biomedical
Sciences shape modern medical practice, the subject is not a
direct substitute for the Medicine degree.
Places available per year: 3
Chemistry: MChem
4 YEARS
Chemistry at New College has a long tradition of both
scientific excellence and teaching commitment. Traditionally,
we have provided our students with teaching in all three
core-subjects. New College usually admits eight students
per year, making it one of the larger groups of chemists at
the University. The unique MChem course, with its fourth
year devoted to research, attracts very able applicants and
many of our undergraduates return to New College to read
for a postgraduate degree in Chemistry.
Places available per year: 8
Classics (Literae Humaniores): BA
4 YEARS
We are one of the biggest and most thriving centres of
Classics in the University, with a long and distinguished
history. By the time you graduate, you will have read Homer
and Virgil, argued with ancient and modern philosophers,
and attempted to understand the great changes in the
history of the classical world. Your studies will have
benefitted from access to a well-resourced classical library,
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES
12. 12
with two specialist classical reading rooms. You will also
have had the opportunity to visit sites in the Greek and
Roman world, helped by College grants for this purpose.
Places available per year: Usually 6 for straight Classics.
Classics & Modern Languages: BA
4 OR 5 YEARS (including a year abroad)
We prefer applications for the five-year course, though we
may be able to accept applicants for the four-year course,
provided their language is Greek. The Modern Languages
side of the course allows students to pursue the afterlife
of a number of Classical texts, from the Renaissance to the
present day. However, the combined course also offers
students the possibility of studying a Modern Language and
Classics without reference to each other.
Places available: No set number but, in practice, we take
someone for the four / five year course every other year.
Classics with Oriental Studies: BA
4 YEARS
Classics and Oriental Studies initially runs parallel with the
Classics degree and then takes up an oriental language in
the second part of the degree. New College has recently
started offering this course and is keen to develop a
reputation as a strong centre for studying it. Teaching is
readily coordinated between the College and the Oriental
Institute although please note that we only offer Classics &
Oriental Studies, not Oriental Studies & Classics.
Places available per year: No fixed number
Computer Science: BA
3 YEARS or MCompSci 4 YEARS
Computer Science is suited to people who strive to
analyse and understand how computing fits into our lives
and who want to influence the future of our increasingly
technology-dependent world. Computer Science is about
understanding computer systems and networks at a deep
level. Computers and the programs they run are among the
most complex products ever created by humans; designing
and using them presents immense challenges.
Places available per year: 8 in total for Mathematics and
Joint Schools, including Computer Science.
Computer Science and Philosophy: BA
3 YEARS or MCompPhil 4 YEARS
Please see the separate entries for Computer Science and
Philosophy.
Places available per year: 8 in total for Mathematics and
Joint Schools
Economics and Management: BA
3 YEARS
Economics and Management is a rigorous academic
degree, developing high-level quantitative and qualitative
skills in a vocationally relevant area. Students benefit from
the excellent facilities of the Saïd Business School, the
location for much of the teaching and many other activities.
Students are closely integrated with PPE students, as well
as with E&M alumni and MBA (graduate) students. We
appreciate students with a lively interest in current affairs
and similar issues. Students go on to a wide range of
careers, including consulting, investment banking, research,
teaching and tech.
Places available per year: 3
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES
13. 13
Engineering Science: MEng
4 YEARS
One of the larger Engineering colleges, New College
has three tutorial fellows who, between them, teach all
the main branches of the engineering course. As well as
guiding you through your undergraduate degree, we hope
to share our enthusiasm for our own specialist research
interests in computer vision, energy policy and structural
vibration control. Our students come from all sorts of
school backgrounds. The things they have in common are
excellent mathematical ability, and genuine enthusiasm
for Engineering and the contribution it can make to our
world. Their exam results are consistently among the best
in the University – a performance level that is achieved in
an environment of friendly cooperation rather than fierce
competition. Besides an excellent school record, we look
for evidence of an applicant’s commitment to Engineering,
and for their ability to think clearly and logically when faced
with new problems.
Places available per year: 7-8
English Language & Literature: BA
3 YEARS
The first year course of the English degree (‘Prelims’)
comprises 19th and 20th century literature and Old
English literature and language; in the second and third
years undergraduates choose to study either Course I
(English literature from the Middle Ages to the present)
or Course II, which has a focus on the medieval period.
Course I is broadly chronological, but also offers some
opportunities for specialisation (e.g. by the intensive study
of an individual major poet or novelist). We are looking
particularly for students who enjoy reading widely and
accurately in English Literature.
Places available per year: 8
English and Modern Languages: BA
4 YEARS, with a year abroad
New College welcomes applications from students wishing
to pursue this joint degree. Much of the teaching of English
papers that have a close bearing on the work of modern
language students is taught within the College. There are
a number of options in the Modern Languages courses
that allow students to make a special study of topics or
authors which align with interests in English. Most of the
core Modern Languages papers are taught in College. The
combined course also offers students the possibility of
studying a Modern Language and English without reference
to each other for the sheer benefit of exploring two
disciplines in which they have demonstrable interest and
aptitude.
Places available per year: 1 or 2
Fine Art: BFA
3 YEARS
Fine Art is the making and study of visual art. It educates
and prepares students to become artists and to follow
other practices that are aligned to the making of art.
The curriculum is centred on the individual student’s
potential and imagination. The teaching of the subject
is conducted by staff at the Ruskin School of Fine Art,
but the College tutor gives advice when needed and
discusses undergraduate’s work with them in a general
way. New College has good public rooms in which students
can mount exhibitions, and its buildings make a superb
environment for the practising artist.
Places available per year: 2
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES
14. 14
History: BA
3 YEARS
Students accepted for History must take a first year course,
culminating in the Preliminary Examination. In the second
two years of the course, students have the opportunity
to diversify their studies where they will benefit from the
exceptionally wide range of topics offered by Oxford’s
History Faculty, the largest in Europe. Such teaching
frequently takes place with outside tutors, and the New
College tutors will set up tuition with colleagues in other
colleges as required. In the third year, students will also be
expected to write a thesis on a research topic of their own
choice, though with the guidance of individually appointed
thesis advisors.
Places available per year: 10 – 12 for History and History
and Joint Schools
History and Economics: BA
3 years
Please see the separate History subject entry.
Places available per year: 1 – 2
History and Modern Languages: BA
4 YEARS, with a year abroad
Much of the teaching on history papers that have a close
bearing on the work of Modern Language students will
be taught within the College. The Modern Languages
side of the course allows students the obvious advantage
of being able to read some of the historical texts in the
original language, and of bringing to those texts a greater
awareness of the cultural context in which they were
written. There are a number of options in the Modern
Languages courses that allow students to make a special
study of topics which align with periods available in History
and there is a dedicated History / Modern Languages
bridge paper which allows undergraduates to write an
independent dissertation spanning the two subjects. Most
of the core Modern Languages papers in French, German
and Russian are taught in College.
Places available per year: 1 – 2
History and Politics: BA
3 YEARS
Please see the History subject entry.
Places available per year: 1 – 2
Law (Jurispudence) BA
3 YEARS – equivalent to LLB
New College’s Law students are one of the most diverse
bodies of Law students in the University. They come from
a wide variety of ethnic groups, social backgrounds, and
educational institutions, including a good number from
schools which do not frequently send candidates to Oxford
or Cambridge.
Despite their diversity, all of our Law students have some
things in common: as candidates, they were all able to
demonstrate sound academic achievements at school or
college; they all exhibited a strong desire to study law, as
well as self-motivation and the capacity for independent
work. It is important to us that our students enjoy their
studies, and it is important to us to challenge them
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES
15. 15
intellectually, and to provide them with the environment in
which they can thrive academically and work towards the
highest achievements.
Places available per year: 8, often including students accepted
on the four year Law with Law Studies in Europe course.
Law with Law Studies in Europe:
Please see the separate Law subject entry
Places available per year: 1 – 3
Mathematics: BA
3 YEARS or MMath 4 YEARS
New College has a strong record in Mathematics and
admits about eight undergraduates each year to read
the subject. We are keen to include in this number
students studying straight Mathematics (both three
and four year courses), Mathematics and Computer
Science, and Computer Science. We also accept students
for Mathematics and Statistics and Mathematics and
Philosophy. Our tutors’ research interests are in Numerical
Analysis, Number Theory and Stochastic Analysis and their
teaching interests cover a wide range of Mathematics in
Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, and Statistics.
Places available per year: 8 for Mathematics
and Joint Schools
Mathematics and Computer Science: BA
3 YEARS or MMathCompSci 4 YEARS
Since the inception of the Mathematics and Computer
Science course, New College has admitted a considerable

Mathematics and Statistics: BA
3 YEARS or MMath 4 YEARS
Please see the Mathematics entry
Places available per year: 8 for Mathematics
and Joint Schools
Medicine: BA
3 YEARS o4 BM BCh 6 YEARS
New College, like all other undergraduate colleges, admits
only five or six medical students a year; there is therefore
heavy pressure on places. The pre-clinical course is to
a large extent based upon departmental teaching in the
various laboratories. The majority of teaching is delivered
centrally by the University Medical School. However,
New College has a strong tradition of providing additional
support to clinical students. This is facilitated by the fact
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES
16. 16
that the College has around ten clinical students per year,
providing a ‘critical mass’ for regular sessions. Teaching
provided is mostly in general medicine and surgery during
the appropriate phases of the course (fourth and sixth year).
This is delivered by practising junior doctors, with a strong
emphasis upon teaching at the patient’s bedside in order to
develop clinical skills and acumen. New College’s ‘Haldane
Society’ is an active medical society, which aims to bring
fellows, pre-clinical and clinical students together for regular
social and educational events, such as talks by invited
external speakers.
Places available per year: 6
Modern Languages: BA
4 YEARS, with a year abroad
New College is one of the liveliest colleges for Modern
Languages in the University. There are Tutors in French,
German and Russian, while those taking Spanish and Italian
are looked after by College Lecturers who are Fellows of
other colleges. Native speaker tuition is offered in both
French and German in the College. We admit students
from a wide variety of educational backgrounds, to read a
range of modern languages offered. The College supports
students in finding places to study or obtain teaching places
as language assistants in schools abroad during their third
year, or to gain other forms of foreign work experience.
It also makes additional study grants available for travel
in vacations. All returning final year Linguists are offered
accommodation in College. Those studying Russian ab initio
spend their second year abroad on a specially-organised
course in Yaroslavl.
Places available per year: 13 for Modern Languages (and
subjects studied with a modern language).
Modern Languages and Linguistics: BA
4 YEARS with a year abroad
Please see the entry for Modern Languages
Places available per year: 13 for Modern Languages (and

Music: BA
3 YEARS
At New College we admit four to five students a year,
creating a lively cohort of musicians in the College. New
College Choir provides an unbeatable educational and
artistic experience for singers - we also offer Choral and
Organ Scholarships - and New Chamber Opera extends
this into the sphere of musical drama. The student chamber
groups [and College orchestra] cater for instrumentalists
at a high level, and we are extremely fortunate to have a
magnificent chapel which also serves as a concert venue.
The College is just completing The Clore Music Studio,
which will provide practice space for all undergraduates,
and the College library has possibly the most extensive
collection of Music-related literature in Oxford, apart from
those at the Bodleian and Music Faculty.
Places available per year: 4 – 5
Philosophy:
The number of students studying Philosophy at New
College is unusually large in comparison with other Oxford
colleges, and we have a correspondingly large number of
college fellows working in the subject.
We accept applications in most of the joint degree schemes
in which Philosophy is involved. For more specific

Places available per year: See subject entries as above
Philosophy and Modern Languages: BA
4 YEARS, with a year abroad
The Modern Languages side of the course allows students
the obvious advantage of being able to read philosophical
texts in the original language, and of bringing to those texts
a greater awareness of the cultural context in which they
were written. As many European philosophers were also
writers in a broader, literary sense, Modern Linguists are in
a position to appreciate this dimension of the philosophical
works while developing a philosophical grasp of the ideas
that writers explore in literary texts. There are a number
of options in the Modern Languages courses that allow
students to make a special study of philosophically inclined
individual authors. The combined course also offers
students the possibility of studying a Modern Language and
Philosophy without reference to each other.
Places available per year: 13 for Modern Languages (and
subjects studied with a modern language).
Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE): BA
3 YEARS
New College is a significant PPE college, with a large intake
of students and more tutors in the relevant subjects who are
full Fellows than most other colleges. This means that:
- you will be interacting with academics with a great
deal of teaching and research experience;
- we can cover a considerable proportion of the
syllabus within the College;
- you will be part of a large cohort of students who
wil be facing the intellectual challenges of PPE
alongside you.
Many of the College’s PPE tutors also provide the core
lectures in their subjects for students across the whole
University. Within New College we take the interdisciplinary
and practical aspects of the degree course seriously, and try
to organise informal seminars and events which emphasise
the links. Tutors welcome applicants from all academic
backgrounds and previous study of Philosophy or Politics
or Economics is not a requirement for admission, but the
ability to think clearly and logically is. Some background in
Mathematics is useful but many successful applicants will
have specialised in other subjects, including Sciences and
Languages. Admission is strictly according to academic
potential.
Outstanding academic attainment at the time of application
is useful evidence of this potential, but the PPE tutors are
also very anxious to admit those who possess equal ability
yet who, for one reason or another, have not yet had the
chance to achieve equivalent results.
Places available per year: 10
UNDERGRADUATECOURSES

Physics: BA
3 YEARS or MPhys 4 YEARS
Students may opt for a three or four year Physics course.
There are many social events for New College physicists,
with regular Physics curries and an annual “not-to-be-
missed” Physics Dinner. Applications are welcomed from
both pre- and post- 18 candidates; you would be expected
to take Physics and at least one Mathematics paper at
A-level (or its equivalent). Taking Further Mathematics is
strongly encouraged if possible, though it is not an absolute
requirement. Among qualities sought in candidates are
intellectual curiosity, strong mathematical and analytical
ability, and strong motivation.
Places available per year: 6 - 7
Psychology (Experimental): BA
3 YEARS
New College students benefit from the fairly large and
broad intake, meaning that there is a strong cohort of
students in each year studying Psychology. New College
students are expected to be intellectually curious, highly
motivated, and enthusiastic. They typically achieve at
high levels in degree examinations, while also being well-
rounded individuals who contribute to as well as benefit
from wider university life . After graduating with their
degree in Experimental Psychology, alumni of New College
have many options available to them, valued as they are as
graduates who are both literate and numerate.

THELIBRARY
As our teaching system requires a significant amount
of written work from all students, library facilities are
very important. New College Library is one of the best-
stocked college libraries with roughly 100,000 volumes,
of which 70,000 are on open access. We have gradually
built up a wide collection, which is continually expanded
and updated to ensure that students can always find the
essential books (often in multiple copies) and supporting
texts for taught courses. Student requests for book
purchases are also welcomed.
There are network points and Wi-Fi on both floors,
plus three computer terminals for searching the union
catalogue of all the University and College libraries.
The main University libraries are close to New College
and these are indispensable both for research and for
undergraduate work. However, as these libraries have
limited borrowing facilities and shorter opening hours, the
College Library provides a service which most students
find invaluable. Each undergraduate has a generous
borrowing allowance of 35 items, which can be taken out
for two weeks at a time.
ICTSERVICES
For those who wish to bring their own computers, all
student accommodation have wired network connections
along with College and University Wireless networks
which are available throughout the College site and
annexes. The College also provides computing facilities
for undergraduate and Graduate students. Undergrauates
have facilities in the JCR computer room and JCR§. All
computer rooms also have printers available for use
from the workstations and personal computers via a web
service.
For up-to-date information on College facilities, printing
charges, and other ICT services, please see the ICT section

College.
• The College elects a first year undergraduate to
an Instrumental Award. The award of £300 p.a. is
tenable for three years, and seeks to support a gifted
instrumentalist in his or her musical study. Holders of
the award are expected to play a leading role in the
College’s musical life.
• The Nick Roth Travel Award (worth £500) is awarded in
memory of former undergraduate, Nick Roth, who died
in an accident whilst travelling in South America. The
Morris Long Vacation Travel Grant (worth £1000) was
set up in 2014. The College also awards a set of grants,
up to £1000 each, to support students who are planning
to travel to mainland China in the summer vacation.
• A variety of prizes are also awarded annually for
academic excellence in several subjects.
In addition, College provides Choral Awards and Organ
