Wolfson supports an inclusive, international community of researchers working at the cutting edge of their fields.
About us
Founded in 1966, Wolfson is one of the University of Oxford's largest graduate colleges and truly unique in its academic scope and international reach. Unlike an undergraduate college, where students are brought together by teaching, our community is united by the common pursuit of research. At Wolfson, graduates, post-doctoral researchers and fellows mix in an environment dedicated to providing the resources and fostering the relationships needed for their work to thrive. As of 2024, our community is made up of just under 1000 graduate students and over 290 fellows, from a diverse range of backgrounds and across all academic fields. We are home to twelve major interdisciplinary research clusters, with concentrations ranging from machine learning, through the study of the mind, brain and body, to the study of law in societies and literary life writing. Wolfson is the first Higher Education Institution in the UK to achieve net zero carbon emissions, thanks to a massive investment and retrofitting programme that has reduced our energy requirements for heating by 90% and has allowed us to eliminate the use of energy derived from fossil fuels in powering our estate.
