Wycliffe has always enjoyed a close relationship with Oxford University and officially became part of the University in 1996, when it was granted the status of a Permanent Private Hall. This means that we can benefit from the remarkable resources of one of the world's great universities while retaining our own distinctive identity and vision as a Christian community.

Students who are on University courses (see Overview of All Courses) have a University Card which enables them to access the Bodleian Library as well as the University Computing Service (OUCS) and many other resources.
