Ruskin College Oxford has been providing
educational second chances since 1899. Our
founders understood that education holds the
power to transform individuals and society.
We offer life-changing opportunities to adults
with few or no qualifications. Our programmes
develop students in areas that help enhance and
empower the community. Support and advice
comes as standard and whatever the personal
or emotional barrier we can help you achieve
success in your studies.
Our proud history ensures we have outstanding
links to contemporary political, social and
industry-based networks which in turn fuels our
active guest speaker and lecture programme. We
also enjoy special relationships with the University
of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, which
provide further facilities and opportunities in
education for our students.
We’re independent, residential and based in
Oxford. Our campus at Old Headington is fully
equipped for modern learning with the latest
IT equipment, a Virtual Learning Environment
and our well-stocked modern, purpose-built
Callaghan Library.
