Ever heard someone say 'Sub Fusc' or 'Bod Card' and had no idea what they meant? No worries! Our students and staff have got you covered as they explain key bits of Oxford terminology (+ some Jenga jeopardy) Keep an eye out for similar videos coming out in the weeks leading to the new Oxford year!

Did you know the west window in our Antechapel features 7 figures representing the Virtues? Temperance, Fortitude, Faith, Charity, Hope, Justice, and Prudence feature in individual windows. It was designed in 1780s by Royal Academy painter Joshua Reynolds and painted by Dublin-born Thomas Jervais.

Before Apple or Google Pay, there were pieces of metal stamped by the state. In the 7th century BC, the Lydians minted the first coins and invented a whole new way to buy, sell, and trade. Professor Andrew Meadows, tutor in ancient history, takes us back to where money (as we know it) began.

Happy National Dog Day to all who celebrate! We’re sad to say farewell to Reglisse and Ulie, as our Warden, Miles Young, retires. These two furry friends have been much loved members of the New College community for the last 10 years 🐾💕

What a joy to welcome 49 students from across Wales to our Seren Summer School. Across 2 Humanities and STEM-focused streams, they received lectures from University academics, explored the Ashmoleum and Natural History Museum, and even had an ice cream at G&Ds 🍦📚👯
