Welcome to Butler!

Josephine Butler College opened in 2006 and we are free-spirited, flourishing and full of life. We are named after the 19th Century social reformer, Josephine Butler, who had a profound influence on society's view of women's health and education. We are a vibrant, inclusive community from a variety of backgrounds and encourage all of our students to get involved with our pioneering spirit and we pride ourselves on inspiration, opportunity and excellent support.
