Collingwood College has a postgraduate population of around 103 students, of whom approximately 25 live in our college accommodation. Many of our postgraduates were undergraduates here, so they particularly enjoy introducing students from elsewhere to the College.
We have a flourishing Middle Common Room (MCR) - which is a grouping of all postgraduates. The MCR have their own common room with a TV and communal kitchen, and members of the MCR take part in many activities with College Officers and the Senior Common Room (SCR). Unlike undergraduates, postgraduates typically live in College for most of the year. There is a nice, easy relationship with the JCR, and graduates often take part in theatre productions, or musical or sporting events.
We really look forward to having you in College, and getting to know you better!
