Michaelmas term is fast approaching, which can only mean one thing – an onslaught of Freshers will be imminently arriving to Oxford and Pembroke. Starting university can be a big transition for anyone. We thought we’d ask one of our fresh graduates, Rohit Ghosh, to reflect on his time at Pembroke, looking all the way back to his own Freshers’ week.

Visiting Fellow Professor Jack Werner talks about his research on developing imaging techniques to capture the living human retina, conducted during his time at Pembroke as part of his Leverhulme Visiting Professorship.

This August, Smithsonian-Pembroke Junior Research Fellow Dr Sruthi M. Krishna Moorthy organised The Interdisciplinary Summer School on Forest Ecosystems, a vibrant event hosted at the University of Oxford which brings together a global community of forest researchers.

We are delighted to share that Professor Ana Namburete, Pembroke’s Rokos Fellow and Tutor in Computer Science, has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council Starting Grant for her WOMB2COT project. 

At the start of the summer, we publicly launched our most ambitious fundraising campaign to date: Imagine Pembroke.

Our warm congratulations go to five students whose success in their Finals has seen them awarded several prizes by the University.

We are very pleased to share that E.P. Abraham Fellow and Tutor in Ecology, Roberto Salguero-Gómez, has recently been awarded Recognition of Distinction and conferred the title of Professor of Ecology by the University of Oxford.

Earlier this year Pembroke's recent sustainability progress, propelled by an enthusiastic group of students and staff, was recognised with a Gold Green Impact Award.

We are delighted to announce the return for 2025-26 of Pembroke’s Rokos Internship and Awards schemes. Generously funded by alumnus Chris Rokos, the programmes bring significant and unique opportunities for academic development among our undergraduate community.
