Welcome to Hertford College, a community of undergraduates, postgraduates, Fellows and staff located in the heart of Oxford, straight across the road from the Bodleian Library and within a few minutes' walk of all the other principal libraries and laboratories of the University. 

It is a place where you can develop your academic work amongst serious and interested students and tutors, where you will meet people from a whole range of different backgrounds, where you will still be able to be yourself while taking advantage of all the opportunities student life in Oxford has to offer.  Hertford retains a relaxed atmosphere, but is strongly committed to the highest academic standards. We are proud of our recent achievement in the intercollegiate 'league tables' and are currently (2009) ranked sixth out of thirty colleges for undergraduate final examination performance.
