St Catz is an open college, and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Situated towards the east of Oxford, on the bank of the river Cherwell, it is a short walk from Oxford City Centre.

The College grounds, made up of striking Grade I listed buildings and Registered Garden, are designed by Danish architect, Arne Jacobsen, and include a music house, amphitheatre and water garden.

Jacobsen’s design went much further than the buildings and grounds, as he created an integrated environment that was both practical and beautiful, including the cutlery, furniture and lighting. Visiting St Catz gives you the unique experience of witnessing a living museum of his creation.

Assistance and/or advice for visitors with disabilities can be sought from the Porters’ Lodge.
