Permanent Private Hall

Permanent Private Hall

A Permanent Private Hall at the University of Oxford is an educational institution within the university — not as a constituent college, but able to present students for Oxford University degrees. "PPHs" are usually, though not necessarily, small foundations of a religious character; thus many 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 cases, a Permanent Private Hall can be granted full collegiate status; recent examples include Mansfield College (became a full college in 1995) and Harris Manchester College (became a full college in 1996). However, one hall, Greyfriars (1224 - refounded 1910) [http://www.greyfriars.ox.ac.uk/ website] , closed at the end of the academic year 2007-8, as the Franciscan order which ran and funded it could no longer afford the expense.

There are currently six Permanent Private Halls:

* Blackfriars (1221 - refounded 1921) [http://www.bfriars.ox.ac.uk/ website]
* Campion Hall (1896) [http://www.campion.ox.ac.uk/ website]
* Regent's Park (1927) [http://www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/ website]
* St Benet's Hall (1897) [http://www.st-benets.ox.ac.uk/ website]
* St Stephen's House (1876) [http://www.ststephenshouse.ac.uk/ website]
* Wycliffe Hall (1877) [http://www.wycliffe.ox.ac.uk/ website]
