List of alumni of University College, Oxford

Its alumni include politicians, lawyers, bishops, poets, and academics.

The overwhelming maleness of this list is partially explained by the fact that.

Until the early 19th century, undergraduates read for a Bachelor of Arts degree that included study of Latin and Greek texts, mathematics, geometry, philosophy and theology.

Individual subjects at undergraduate level were only introduced later: for example, Mathematics (1805), Natural Science (1850), Jurisprudence (1851, although it had been available before this to students who obtained special permission), Modern History (1851) and Theology (1871).

[2] A number of alumni became fellows at their Alma mater at some point in their academic career.
