My time at Pembroke was truly exceptional. While the College offered unwavering academic support, it's the memories of great friendships, spirited Mario Kart tournaments, and invigorating rowing outings that remain etched in my mind. These experiences enriched my journey, making it an unforgettable chapter of my life.

Policy statement on the recruitment of ex-offenders
Pembroke College is an equal opportunities employer. It welcomes diversity amongst its staff and students and all reasonable adjustments will be made to the recruitment process, working arrangements and/or environment to accommodate applicants with any form of disability.
Please let us know if you believe there are any reasonable adjustments we should be making to assist you with your application. If you feel that you have a disability which may affect your application, please let us know. Please also let us know of any reasonable adjustments that we would need to make for you to attend an interview.
My main advice to those who feel they don’t match the “typical Oxford student” is to continue to engage with reading on your subject that interests you, and keep pushing yourself. If you can, apply to the outreach support that you have available to you – even if it’s online, it can really help.
Pembroke is a beautiful college tucked right in the centre of Oxford, and it’s a friendly and welcoming environment where state-schoolers and other students from underrepresented backgrounds are looked after and supported.
I went to a state school which didn’t offer any of the subjects I study now, and so despite thinking I would stick out like a sore thumb at Oxford, I’ve enjoyed everything it has thrown at me. Whatever your apprehensions about Oxford, I’m here to reassure you that shouldn’t let any of them warrant not applying. And no – it's not just full of posh people!
For nearly four centuries, Pembroke College has been a crucible and catalyst of innovation, imagination, and vision. From Samuel Johnson who defined our words, to William Blackstone who framed the laws of a civil society; from J.R.R. Tolkien who inspired our imaginations to current Fellows doing ground-breaking research in AI, robotics, digital humanities and more, Pembrokians have made and are making a profound difference to the world.
As we approach our 400th in 2024, we are once again calling on alumni and friends to help us achieve our vision for the next 400 years. We want Pembroke to be influential, inspiring, and resilient; able to welcome individuals of all backgrounds in a supportive, creative, and intellectually challenging environment with the best infrastructure and personnel as well as the life-long encouragement from our alumni community. Regular Gifts are vital for this, as they provide us with stability and confidence to realise our strategic goals. If you would like to commit to supporting the college and ensuring that it thrives you can pledge directly to the 400 campaign by clicking on this link.
The Biology course is fascinating and has the scope to allow everyone to explore their interests in as much depth as they choose. The two principal Biology tutors at Pembroke are Nick Kruger and Rob Salguero-Gomez. They are the main points of contact for the first year. Both are extremely kind and supportive and give prompt and useful feedback that allows all the students to make the most of the course and their time at Pembroke. The college has strong connections with other Oxford colleges so Pembroke students are easily able to make contact with tutors across a range of fields.
