Brasenose College (BNC)[4] is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It began as Brasenose Hall in the 13th century, before being founded as a college in 1509. The library and chapel were added in the mid-17th century and the new quadrangle in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

For 2020–21, Brasenose placed 4th in the Norrington Table (an unofficial measure of performance in undergraduate degree examinations).[5] In a recent Oxford Barometer Survey, Brasenose's undergraduates registered 98% overall satisfaction.[6] In recent years, around 80% of the UK undergraduate intake have been from state schools.[7][8][9]

Brasenose is home to one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world, Brasenose College Boat Club.
