About the College
Vanbrugh College was opened in 1967 as part of the second stage of the University's development, serving residences for Vanbrugh Quad. Since then we have grown to include new residential buildings as well as refurbished buildings across the campus.
The College is closely connected to the Departments of History, History of Art, Language and Linguistics, and Music, and provides accommodation for over 600 students as well as social and support networks for over 1700 college members.
Vanbrugh College has a wide variety of accommodation on offer to its members and for those new students, choosing Vanbrugh is not just choosing a place to live, it is choosing an environment in which to flourish, to make friends, to study, to be inspired and to learn and grow throughout this period of your education.
