Message from the Principal

Welcome to the St Hugh’s website. St Hugh’s was born from a determination to make the delight of learning available to all and has a character and tradition all its own. Set in extensive and beautiful gardens, St Hugh’s is a community that seeks to combine friendliness and informality with an absolute commitment to the life of the mind.
Excellence in teaching and research is our central objective. We now have over four hundred undergraduates and two hundred graduates, working alongside our fifty fellows and twenty lecturers, junior research fellows and career development fellows. All of our undergraduates are able to live on site throughout their time with us, and nearly half of our graduates also live in College, which makes a genuine sense of academic and social community a reality here.
Each year we welcome outstanding students from a great range of backgrounds, and we delight in that diversity. The Admissions section of our website gives details of how to apply.
We are keen to keep in touch with all of our Senior Members – the Alumni section contains information about events and news of Senior Members. Many of our facilities are available for conference use. If you have any questions, please contact us.
