Description

Lady Margaret Hall is a constituent College of the University of Oxford and is located in- peaceful, spacious gardens beside the University Parks.

LMH, as it is fondly known, was founded in 1878 with a dual passion for learning and for equality, making it possible, for the first time, for women to study at Oxford.

Today, the College continues to draw inspiration from this great founding vision.

The College prepares its students to live and work in a fast-moving, complex and global society that is hungry for knowledge, communication and integrity.
