One of the largest centres for Humanities internationally, with over 800 members of academic and research staff, the Division offers world-class research and teaching, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Library, with its 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, the Pitt Rivers Museum, the History of Science Museum and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study and digital Humanities. The outstanding quality of Humanities research at Oxford is recognised globally. This reputation for research excellence contributes to the University coming top of several international rankings for Arts and Humanities, including the US News and World Report rankings and the QS World University Rankings by Subject. The Division’s faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Division has responsibility for over 4,000 undergraduates (a third of the University’s total undergraduate population), and for over 2,000 postgraduate students (over 1,100 doctoral students and some 900 Master’s students). Twenty-nine undergraduate courses are offered in Humanities subjects, seven of which are offered jointly with the other academic divisions. The Doctoral and Master’s programmes offered are distributed across all of the Division’s faculties, along with a suite of Master’s courses offered with the Social Sciences Division and a growing portfolio of Master’s courses that draw from across the Humanities. The Division is part of the Open-Oxford Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, supported by a £185 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. 5 For more information please visit: http://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/ The Schwarzman Centre The teaching and study of the humanities is so important because it tells the story of what it means to be human - who we are, where we came from, and how our culture, literature and language have developed over time. With over 700 academic staff and 6,000 students, Oxford Humanities leads the world in the breadth and depth of subject coverage and the quality of teaching and research. But don’t just take our word for it - the latest QS World University Rankings placed us at number one. The new Humanities building will take our teaching, research and public engagement to new heights. For the first time in the University’s history, seven humanities faculties will be housed together along with a new library. These disciplines are currently scattered in buildings across Oxford but they will be united in a new building designed to encourage cross-disciplinary study and research. Academics in the building will work together to tackle some of the most pressing questions of our time. As well as a new Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, they will consider the environment and how society rebuilds after the pandemic. Crucially, the building will be open to the public, and we aim to bring research and performance in the arts and humanities to new audiences. There will be dedicated space for schoolchildren to visit and engage with Oxford’s researchers. There will be exhibition space and three new performance venues for music, theatre, drama, dance, lectures and more. A new Cultural Programme will bring the world's leading performers and artists to Oxford. Our venues will also be open to regional cultural organisations, with whom Oxford researchers will strengthen partnerships. We cannot wait to welcome you to the first performance in 2025!
