Offering an exciting range of intellectually-demanding courses all designed and delivered by experienced academics of the University of Oxford, it follows the University’s unique teaching methods which centre on personalised intellectual discussion in small classes, fostering critical thinking, communication and reasoning skills.

Testimonials
LMH is such an unbelievably welcoming college. It really is a home away from home because the people just make you feel like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. The grounds are gorgeous!
LMH is a really welcoming, relaxed college that feels like a home away from home. As the college is a little further away from the city centre than most other colleges, there is a real community feel. Everybody is so friendly and down to earth!
I enjoyed learning about people and politics of a different time and place and thinking critically about narratives or arguments when I'm writing my essays. Overall, it has made me a sharper thinker and more inquisitive person; I also appreciate how inspirational and supportive my tutors have been!
My favourite thing about LMH, beyond the wonderful people, are the incredible gardens that we are blessed to have. As for Oxford, the best aspect is probably the architecture which it is hard to believe is part of the university you attend sometimes.
