Why HMC?

A college like no other.

 

Harris Manchester College is unique within Oxford in that we are the only college exclusively for students aged 21+. There is no upper age limit, and we have students aged from 21 into their seventies!

We accept students for undergraduate and postgraduate study on a wide range of courses.

Our students come to us with a wide range of previous life experiences. For some this is a first degree after other adventures; for others it is a second or third chance at higher education; for others it is a second or third degree; and for yet others it is a rethinking of their life path and a much-valued opportunity to consider what they want to do next. ​

This means that every Harris Manchester student have a story to tell: none have simply come to us as the next thing after school.
