Fitzwilliam College began as Fitzwilliam Hall in 1869, a non-academic body made up of less wealthy students. The university allowed students who could not afford to live in colleges the opportunity to learn at the prestigious institution.
In 1966 Fitzwilliam Hall was granted a Royal Charter, and officially became Fitzwilliam College.
The college has a rich history and boasts impressive alumni including Cressida Dick, the first female Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
Students will be accommodated in single rooms which are standard undergraduate bedrooms. Bathrooms are shared between a few students. Male and female students will be separated by corridor and/or staircases.
In the college students are overseen by the Programme Director, who implements the day-to-day running of the programme. The Director is assisted by a team of Counsellors who very often are current members of the University of Oxford or University of Cambridge.
The Counsellors ensure that students are looked after pastorally, culturally and socially during their programme. Students are able to talk informally and frankly to the Counsellors in order to raise concerns or to discuss university applications.
Each campus has a few members of residential staff who live in the college throughout the programme and are able to assist students at any time of the day or night.
It is important to note that Oxford Royale Summer Schools is not a part of, or otherwise affiliated with, Fitzwilliam College or the University of Cambridge. Find out more about Oxford Royale and the University of Cambridge.
