Accommodation for Graduates
One of Pembroke’s many attractions is our availability of dedicated graduate accommodation across our two sites, all within the heart of Oxford. In a highly-competitive city, we are proud to offer accommodation to our full-time graduate freshers, with rooms and domestic facilities that aim to further enrich the experiences of our graduate community.
New for Autumn 2023!
Pembroke College is proud to be launching our new £14m Graduate residential development at the Geoffrey Arthur Building (GAB) annex – 11 minutes’ walk from the College’s main site. The new development consists of two wings, the Thames Building and Cherwell Building each fully accessible via a shared lift.
Comprised of 77 new en-suites (including four accessible rooms) and four studio flats with 10 communal kitchens/living spaces, a common room, laundry facilities and secure bike storage, this new development sits within our existing GAB site, alongside the River Thames.
As well as this exciting new development, the GAB complex also houses 97 bedrooms in the original buildings (known as GAB Standard). These rooms are spacious (17m2) and offer shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. Residents of ‘GAB Standard’ also have access to the common room, laundry and bike storage located in the new Cherwell building.
