Alumni Privileges

Former students and Fellows may dine at College up to three times an academic year free of charge. This includes either at High Table (which takes place in term time only) or Low Table. We will be delighted to welcome you, though please note that dining is always subject to space being available. Please give notice to the Development Office (development@nuffield.ox.ac.uk) by 12 noon the day before the relevant dinner.

Alumni are also welcome to take lunch in College from time to time, at their own expense. All additional meals are to be paid for (e.g. for a partner). Payment may be made either directly via the Finance Department or via an invoice if details are left with the cashier at lunch.

Former students and Fellows visiting Oxford have the option of staying overnight (B&B) free of charge up to three times an academic year.

Alumni are also very welcome to drop into the JCR when they are visiting Oxford. Come and meet current students, old supervisors, or just relax and read the newspapers over a cup of coffee. If you are not staying in College we ask you to notify the Lodge Porter and the Development Office of your visit, so that we know about your presence. 

Nuffield College Library is always pleased to welcome back former members and will be happy to receive copies of your published work to add to library stock.
