Ruskin College Oxford

About

Ruskin College Oxford was established two centuries ago in 1899 and has earned a strong reputation as a ground-breaking college. They provide adult learning to people of all backgrounds and ages. With historic links to the University of Oxford, they provide university-standard facilities and education, without needing qualifications. For a lot of their adult students, personal, financial, or social obstacles have made it difficult for them to take educational chances earlier in their lives. Ruskin College Oxford exists to put that right. They have courses to suit everyone, despite their situation, whether it is higher education, further education, leisure programs, or professional courses.
