Wrenfield is a residential research university on the banks of the Alder, where 18,400 students across nine faculties learn from scholars who are shaping their fields — and each other.
Literature, history, philosophy, classics, modern languages and the fine and performing arts.
Physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences and pure and applied mathematics.
Mechanical, civil and electrical engineering, computer science and artificial intelligence.
Economics, finance, management, marketing and the Wrenfield MBA and executive education.
Law, international relations, politics and public administration, with a working legal clinic.
Medicine, nursing, public health and biomedical science, taught alongside the Alder teaching hospital.
Every Wrenfield student writes their own story. Here are three, in their own words.
“In my second year I was running experiments in the robotics lab past midnight. Nobody told me to stop — they told me what to try next.”
“My fieldwork on the Alder estuary became a published paper before I graduated. Wrenfield treats undergraduates like researchers from day one.”
“I argued my first real case in the legal clinic, for a real client. You leave here already knowing how to do the job, not just describe it.”
Applications for autumn 2027 are open now. Our admissions team reads holistically — your record, your context and what you want to build — and reviews files as they arrive.
Open days run every Saturday through the spring. Walk the colleges, sit in on a lecture, and meet the people you would learn beside.
