Why support Giving Day?

Green Templeton College is a vibrant community of students, fellows, alumni and staff and we are committed to providing the best student and college experience for everyone.  Gifts to the college this Giving Day will ensure we can continue to offer support to students, where it is most needed, widen access to post-graduate study, preserve and enhance the architecture and estate, and fund student led projects that benefit the college community.

Student support

Green Templeton College provides financial support to students experiencing unforeseen difficulties, or in times of financial hardship. This funding also allows students to enhance their academic experience by attending conferences or undertaking fieldwork in support of their studies and research.

Scholarships

Reducing or removing the burden of tuition fees and living costs through the availability of scholarships widens access to post-graduate study at the University of Oxford and enables the opportunity to join the vibrant Green Templeton College community.

🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴

What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…

Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.

Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.

We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.

In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.

Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.

A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
