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.

NEW COLLEGE?WHY CHOOSE

AtNewCollegeweseektoadmitstudentswiththemostacademicpotential.

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.

THE HISTORY OF NEW COLLEGE

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.

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 [email protected].

UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS

UNDERGRADUATE 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:

Home Bursar (accommodation matters): [email protected]

Academic Registrar (academic matters): [email protected]

Visiting us Every year, New College takes part in the three annual University Open Days (usually in late June/ early July, and September). These Open Days are the perfect opportunity to come and have a look at the College, meet current students, and talk to tutors. The best place to find information about these events is the University website:

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

Due to its size, New College is able to offer a large number of Undergraduate courses, covering a range of subject areas. Please note that course information is subject to change so please ensure to contact [email protected] if you are have any queries. For a full list of the subjects we offer, please visit www.new.ox.ac.uk

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 YEARSThis 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 YEARSThis 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 YEARSBiomedical 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 YEARSChemistry 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 YEARSWe 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,

UNDERGRADUATE UNDERGRADUATE

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 YEARSClassics 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 YEARSComputer 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 YEARSPlease 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 YEARSEconomics 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

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

13

Engineering Science: MEng 4 YEARSOne 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 YEARSThe 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 abroadNew 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 YEARSFine 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

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

14

History: BA 3 YEARSStudents 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 yearsPlease see the separate History subject entry.

Places available per year: 1 – 2

History and Modern Languages: BA 4 YEARS, with a year abroadMuch 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 LLBNew 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

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 YEARSNew 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 YEARSSince the inception of the Mathematics and Computer Science course, New College has admitted a considerable

number of students to read for this joint course. We are keen to receive such applications.

Places available per year: 8 for Mathematics and Joint Schools

Mathematics and Philosophy: BA 3 YEARS or MMathPhil 4 YEARSBoth Mathematics and Philosophy tutors at New College are strongly committed to the course and welcome applications for Mathematics and Philosophy. Please also see the Philosophy at New College entry.

Places available per year: 8 for Mathematics and Joint Schools

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 YEARSNew 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

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

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 abroadNew 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 abroadPlease see the entry for Modern Languages

Places available per year: 13 for Modern Languages (and subjects studied with a modern language).

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 abroadThe 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 YEARSNew 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

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

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.

THE LIBRARYAs 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.

ICT SERVICESFor 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 of the college website: http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/ict-services.
