Wadham College was founded in 1610 by Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham during the reign of King James I. In the 1600s, Wadham became a focus of scientific interest within Europe as the College became a meeting place for the experimenters who formed the Royal Society in 1660. Part of this movement one of Wadham’s most famous alumni is Sir Christopher Wren. Originally a male-only college, in Wadham became one of the first colleges allow the admission of women as full members at all levels. Today, Wadham is one of the largest colleges in Oxford, with 200 graduate students and some 450 undergraduates.
During the summer, Wadham College is the location of Bucksmore Education summer courses. Established in 1979, Bucksmore Education is an award-winning academic short course provider. We aim to support every student towards achieving their goals, whether this is studying at a top UK boarding school or university, or becoming a future leader in business, politics, or any other sphere of life.
