About St Peter's College
St Peter’s is one of the University of Oxford’s youngest colleges. It was founded in 1929 as an independent hostel for students with the aim of providing low-cost education. In 1961, St Peter’s became a college of the University.
The College site includes a combination of different styles of architecture, with a mixture of traditional and modern buildings. The College has an intimate and friendly atmosphere. Recently the College sports teams have been very successful, especially the boat club.
Some of the most well known alumni of St Peter’s College include Edward Akuto-Addo (former Prime Minister of Ghana), Simon Beaufoy (Oscar-winning writer of the screenplay for “Slumdog Millionaire”), and Carl Albert (former speaker of the United States House of Representatives).
St Peter’s is located right in Oxford’s city centre, on New Inn Hall Street.
