Regent's Park began with ventures by British Baptists to provide an education to those whose access to higher learning was limited by their religious background until the mid-nineteenth century, and the College continues to offer a unique dissenting voice at the heart of Oxford.
The Regent’s community is now more diverse than ever before, but its radical spirit continues to be embodied in generations of students and staff pushing the boundaries of representation and inclusion.
The College offers places in a range of Arts and Humanities disciplines, with an outstanding record in Theology, Philosophy, History and English, as well as preparing men and women for ordained ministry in the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Everyone admitted to read for a degree is matriculated into the University and has full access to its rich resources. The College also has award-winning tutors, who are teaching members of multiple faculties and departments, encouraging students to aim high and providing excellent academic support. Through research, they also bear witness to the value of the Arts and Humanities in higher education and society by exploring the essence of a fully liveable life and a civilised world.
Visitors to this section of the website will find information about the College’s historic accomplishments and ongoing work, members of the academic and administrative teams, as well as opportunities to join this vibrant community.
