  • Pembroke’s relatively high intake of students in History joint schools also broadens the appeal and diversity of our history community, making it even easier to meet and socialise with other historians.

Isabel Thompson (2023, History)

Oxford was never on my radar, never an option I considered at all, until I attended an open day. Looking around the city (and around Pembroke!) made me feel so inspired and welcomed, despite being from a working-class and first-generation to university background. The rest was history! I put in my application, attended the interviews, cried many tears, and got my offer!
