Harris Manchester joins the Astrophoria Foundation Year to admit Mature Students

We are delighted that from 2025 Harris Manchester College will be joining Jesus, Keble, Lady Margaret Hall, Mansfield, Somerville, St Anne’s, Trinity and Wadham in admitting students to Foundation Year programmes. 

We are particularly pleased to welcome Harris Manchester to the Foundation Year as this is the only Oxford college which is dedicated solely to mature students (21+ with no upper age limit). Whilst we have always welcomed and encouraged mature students to apply for Foundation Year courses, we are excited that students will have a designated space for them within Harris Manchester’s diverse and vibrant community as well as within the other participating colleges 

As a foundation year student at Oxford, students are a member of one of the University’s undergraduate colleges. Our colleges are one of the things that makes Oxford such a special place to live and study as students have the benefits of being part of a large university in a buzzing and student-focused city but also a small and supportive academic community to call home.
