Why choose ɫɫӰԺ?
1. We put women first
We prioritise opportunities for women. This includes contributing to the advancement of women within their studies and in their professional careers. Our Postgraduate Gateway Programme is uniquely designed for postgraduate students at ɫɫӰԺ to build on their existing academic, interpersonal and professional skills and to help them to access professional advice, alumni and career networks.
2. We are home away from home
The College is bright and welcoming and provides comfortable study bedrooms, a stunning domed dining area with excellent food, colourful gardens and diverse and enthusiastic community of students and teaching Fellows. It is within walking distance of academic departments, other colleges, the University Library and the City centre.
ɫɫӰԺ provides what we believe a College should: a home away from home, a social community of diverse graduate students across fields, and a network of Fellows and alumnae interested in assisting us in achieving our best in all aspects of life.
