Nuffield College

About Nuffield College

Nuffield is a graduate college of the University of Oxford dedicated to advanced study and research in the social sciences, particularly economics, politics, and sociology. The College was established in 1937 through a gift to the University of Oxford by Lord Nuffield. A key ambition in establishing the College was to create a place of postgraduate study that could enhance cooperation between the academic and non-academic worlds in order to address social, economic and political problems - the aspiration to act as a bridge between the academic and public worlds continues to guide the College’s activities today. Nuffield College is home to several research centres including, the Centre for Experimental Social Science (CESS), the Centre for Social Investigation (CSI), and the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Policy (NuCAMP).
