Kellogg College comes of age

Colleges 23 Mar 11 Oxford's college for lifelong learning students celebrates reaching the age of maturity itself as it turns 21 this month. With more than 660 students from 73 countries, Kellogg is the University's most international college, as well as the largest graduate-only college. It has close links with the University's Department for Continuing Education, the Department of Education and other departments active in areas of professional and part-time study. Professor Jonathan Michie, the President of Kellogg College, said: 'As a young college with mainly part-time graduate students, Kellogg is far from a typical Oxford college. Many people inside and outside Oxford may not even be aware of us, just as they may not be aware of the 15,000 students passing through the Department for Continuing Education every year who are admitted to Oxford in addition to its 20,000 full-time students. 'Yet the college and its students represent an important part of Oxford. It is incredible to think that just 21 years ago, someone wanting to take a postgraduate degree while continuing with their careers or other responsibilities couldn't return - or come - to Oxford.
