Studying at Nuffield College

Students are given by the Faculty Board a University Supervisor who has principal responsibility for the student's studies. The University Supervisor is often a Fellow of Nuffield, but is not necessarily so. The main objective in the selection of the University Supervisor is to provide the student with guidance from the person with the greatest expertise in the particular area of the student's interests. In addition, the College appoints a College Supervisor, who has special responsibility for the welfare of the student and who provides continuing academic assistance during the student's period in Nuffield.

Students thus benefit from a dual supervisory system that ensures a high level of support throughout their postgraduate studies.
