Welcome to Pembroke College

Founded in 1624, Pembroke College is concentrated in its traditional site in the centre of Oxford, has graduate facilities in Brewer Street, just behind the College, and a fine new building on the Thames a few minutes walk away. The main site is particularly attractive, with buildings from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. The Chapel Quad, regarded by many as one of Oxford’s best kept secrets, astonishes with its harmonious integration of architectural styles across five centuries.

The compact and beautiful site complements the social atmosphere of a small, friendly and welcoming community which combines informality with tradition. The College of Samuel Johnson, JRR Tolkien and J.William Fulbright, it has maintained its strengths in traditional undergraduate academic courses while being at the forefront in promoting certain specialised subjects and it nourishes a vibrant and diverse graduate body.

The College has enormously enhanced the quality of its facilities in recent years, and is able to offer a wide range of benefits to its current and former students and visitors, including high quality banqueting and conference services.
