Our housing for postgraduates
Explore our housing opportunities for postgraduates.
Some of our postgraduate students, with priority given to new first-years, live in College-owned accommodation, while many other students choose either University housing or privately rented housing.
College housing
St Peter's gives priority to postgraduates who are new to Oxford in College-owned accommodation. More information about how to apply for a room in College accommodation is provided when a College offer is made to a postgraduate applicant. Our accommodation for postgraduates is a short, five-minute walk from College, located in the historic Oxford Castle quarter. As well as College-owned accommodation, the College has specific groups of allocated rooms within University-owned accommodation that are allocated to incoming postgraduate students.
University housing
Oxford University offers conveniently located graduate accommodation for single students, couples and families. Visit the Oxford University graduate accommodation website for more information on availability, location and price.
