Permanent Private Hall

Encyclopedia : P : PE : PER : Permanent Private Hall

A Permanent Private Hall at the University of Oxford is an educational institution affiliated to the University — not as a full College, but able to award Oxford University degrees. "PPHs" are usually, though not necessarily, small foundations of a religious character; thus many of them offer a limited number of degrees, sometimes only to members of a specific religious order, and generally in Theology and related subjects. The maximum number of undergraduates allowed for each Hall is set by the University. In some case, a Permanent Private Hall can be granted full Collegiate status; recent examples include St Edmund Hall (became a full College in 1957), Mansfield College (became a full College in 1995), and Harris Manchester College (became a full College in 1996).

There are currently seven Permanent Private Halls:
