Over more than 550 years, Magdalen has been home to generations of scholars, writers and scientists, including Nobel Prize winners and renowned alumni such as C. S. Lewis, Oscar Wilde, Seamus Heaney, John Betjeman and Erwin Schrödinger.
The College welcomes conference guests and independent travellers throughout the year. Accommodation includes up to 50 ensuite bedrooms, some overlooking the Deer Park, together with a further 110 standard bedrooms within the historic college buildings.
