Mansfield College, Oxford is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford[2] in Oxford, England. The college was founded in Birmingham in 1838 as a college for Nonconformist students. It moved to Oxford in 1886 and was renamed Mansfield College after George Mansfield and his sister Elizabeth. In 1995 a royal charter was awarded giving the institution full college status. The college grounds are located on Mansfield Road, near the centre of Oxford.
As of December 2023,[1] the college comprises approximately 245 undergraduates, 145 graduates and 40 visiting students. There are around 40 fellows.[3]
