Postgraduate courses

Every year Regent’s offers places to about 20 or more graduate applicants for a range of the University’s taught and research courses. See the information at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/.

Located in the heart of the city and University, Regent's is famed for its freindly atmosphere and strong sense of community. The graduate community contains individuals from an array of backgrounds and nationalities all of whom have the opportunity to uniquely contribute to the life of both the college and the University. The College is home to the Angus Library and Archive which is the leading collection of Baptist history and heritage worldwide. Some of our students are actively involved in the Baptist traditions of the college. Regent's specialises in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.


All graduate students are automatically members of the MCR.

Taught courses and research courses
Postgraduates studying on taught Masters Courses are usually taught in a mixture of classes, lectures and individual tutorials and these are arranged by the relevant University faculty or department rather than the college. The University also expects these students to attend classes designed to train them in methods of academic research. One and two-year taught masters courses usually require a combination of examinations and short dissertations.

Doctorates, usually require three or four years study, and are awarded after the student has researched and written a longer and detailed piece of individual and original research. This is done under the supervision of an academic staff member who is a specialist in the field and who oversees and advises them on their work. Often the supervisor is a member of another college. Again, the University expects Doctoral students to attend classes designed to train them in methods of academic research. Students are often admitted initially to a Masters level course, and then progress on to Doctoral status when they have satisfied their Faculty that this is appropriate.

Postgraduates at Regent’s are under the academic care of the Graduate Studies Tutor, but are also allocated to a Personal Tutor for pastoral matters, and to a college advisor who offers support of a general and academic kind while being more removed from the actual academic work.
