Nuffield College, Oxford

 

Nuffield College, Oxford

Nuffield College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It is an all-graduate college and primarily a research establishment, specialising in the social sciences, particularly economics, politics and sociology. Despite being one of the newest and smallest of the colleges, its architecture is designed to conform to the traditional college layout, and its modernistic spire is a landmark for those approaching Oxford from the west.

History

Nuffield College was founded in 1937, on a site on the western side of the city centre, donated by William Morris, 1st Viscount Nuffield (Lord Nuffield).
