Description

I am looking forward to meeting you in person when you arrive in the autumn. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the many people at the College who are here to help you begin your undergraduate life.

Requests or suggestions about rooms or flats and their contents should first be made to the Head of Housekeeping or Residential Operations Manager, who is responsible for informing the Domestic Bursar. In the event of delay, you should approach the Domestic Bursar directly. i) Keep the residence requirements laid down by the University except where formal permission is obtained from the Senior Tutor in advance. A College Advisor, normally a Fellow in a similar subject area, is allocated to each graduate student to provide support in matters of personal welfare and academic progress. While prime academic responsibility lies with the University, and in particular with the Faculty or Department Supervisor, College Advisors can offer less specialised help which may sometimes be useful for just that reason. In the exceptional case where a student does not get on with a supervisor, the advisor can give guidance on how to deal with the situation and, if necessary, on how to go about requesting a change of supervisor. In 1968, as student protests became commonplace at centres of learning in Europe and the Americas, the Warden and Fellows are reported to have sent this reply to a set of "non-negotiable demands": [46] Cleaning and emptying waste and recycling bins in shared kitchens, bathrooms and toilets on weekdays.

College facilities

This is said to be the oldest purpose-built music room in Europe. It’s also England’s first concert hall. It was designed by Thomas Camplin and opened in July 1748. The interior has been restored to a near-replica of the original.

If a student’s work or attendance is unsatisfactory on grounds not entirely covered by or other than those envisaged above (see 'Coping with problems'), then the tutor will bring this to their attention through informal discussion and by taking reasonable measures as they see fit. They may also give an informal warning to the student that their work or attendance is unsatisfactory. The Graduate Centre is normally open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, throughout the year, except for a short period over Christmas and the New Year. There will be periods during the week when areas will need to be closed for a short time for cleaning. The Rex Warner Prize is awarded for any creative writing (prose or poetry) or translation. Details of how to submit work are circulated to all eligible students annually, usually in Hilary Term.Robert Hannigan nominated as next Warden" (Press release). Wadham College, Oxford. 17 May 2021 . Retrieved 1 October 2021. This is an environmentaly friendly college. During your stay towels will be changed every 2-3 days. More frequent changes are available on request. The Merifield annexe, named after Merryfield, Ilton once home to the Wadhams, is in Summertown, about 1.2 miles from the centre of town. [32]

The pattern in the pavement outside the student bar at Wadham College is a Penrose tiling, named after the Wadham mathematician Roger Penrose who invented it in the 1970s. Penrose tilings have many interesting mathematical properties, and they also explain the structure of some unusual metallic crystals, called quasicrystals, that were discovered in the 1980s and won Dan Shechtman the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2011. [50] The Dr Lee Shau Kee Building and William Doo Undergraduate Centre were designed by Amanda Levete Architects. They replaced the Goddard building of 1951 and now provide facilities for the college's access activities and student union. Construction began in 2018 and was completed in late 2020. [31] Merifield [ edit ] As one of the bigger colleges of the University, we offer one of the largest selections of courses. We welcome academic excellence, diversity and independence, and are known for our inclusive and welcoming culture. The Chancellor, Chris Patten, remarked that the William Doo Undergraduate Centre is a wonderful symbol of the links between the Doo Family and Wadham, and the links between Oxford and Hong Kong. The Doo legacy is an extraordinary contribution to the experience that our students will have for years to come.Lord Macdonald, Warden of Wadham 2012 – 2021, thanked William Doo and his family for all they have done to create the William Doo Undergraduate Centre for our students, which is ‘at the heart of their experience here’. He expressed our deep gratitude for the Doo family’s leadership in generously supporting and sharing Wadham’s mission to bring as broad a range of talent as possible from across the world to our College. If we cannot identify who has caused the damage in a communal area, e.g. kitchen or shared bathroom – all residents with access to the affected areas will be charged equally. Wadham’s hall is one of the largest amongst Oxford colleges. It’s notable for its great hammer-beam roof and the Jacobean woodwork of the entrance screen. The hall is decorated with portraits of the founders and of distinguished members of the college.

A conscientious commitment to academic work is expected throughout a student’s time here and is a condition of continued membership of the College. Due to an increase in cases of meningitis type W, new students (aged under 25) are now recommended to have the Meningitis ACWY vaccine. This is different from the previous meningitis C vaccine. Please make an appointment with your local doctor/general practice to have this vaccine before coming to Oxford. The ACWY vaccine has not been part of the routine immunisation schedule before, although some people will have had it for travel purposes. If you have had ACWY vaccine in the last five years, you do not need another dose. The Dorothy Wadham Building, on Iffley Road, was designed by Allies and Morrison and opened in 2019. It houses undergraduates, predominantly in their second year of studies. [34] Gardens [ edit ]

Communal spaces are looked after by a ‘scout, usually a part time member of the Housekeeping team. They are required to report any damage, and those responsible will be charged on their battels for repairs, replacements, or exceptional cleaning; in extreme cases students may be denied further residence in College accommodation.
