From the

Provost

Greetings from Worcester, where another academic year has started following a long and very hot summer. It has been a season that reminded us of the importance of our academics' work on sustainability, food security, and the development of AI and cyber security.

Looking back at the last academic year, and reflecting on the many activities, achievements, collaborations and projects that have characterised College life, one driver shines through above all others: ambition.  From the bold research undertaken by our students and Fellows to the impressive sporting and musical accomplishments across Worcester, a spirit of openness and an enthusiasm to embrace new challenges infuses all that we do. It is this spirit that makes the everyday life of the College so exceptional.

One driver shines through above all others: ambition.

We are delighted to share a glimpse of this spirit with you in this report. After all, the generosity of alumni and friends is central to everything we do. As our endowment does not cover our operating costs, every gift makes a difference. Our former Finance and Estates Bursar, Mike Huggins, who left in August, played a vital role in strengthening the College's financial position, and his successor, Sonya Butters, is exceptionally well placed to build on Mike’s progress. Sonya’s experience in financial audit and risk, governance, and the conservation of historic buildings will serve her well in navigating the complexities of the Bursar’s role.

The past year has brought a number of highlights. The enthusiasm of the alumni I met in New York, and more recently across East Asia, was a powerful reminder of the vibrancy of our global community. Viola Kerr (our Development Director), Millie Papworth (Deputy Development Director), and I are making concerted efforts to deepen our connections with alumni around the world. Please do get in touch if you would like to hear more.

It was also heartening to see the first phase of the lake repair programme completed, and we look forward to progressing the next stage of this important work later this year. In July, we were pleased to share news of the acquisition of the neighbouring Jericho Wharf. As the last significant parcel of land adjoining the College, it represents an important long-term investment in Worcester’s future. We are immensely grateful to the benefactors whose generosity made this acquisition possible, and I look forward to sharing further plans in due course.

There is no doubt that the years ahead will be busy and exciting. The beautiful designs produced by the French architectural firm Wilmotte et Associés for the Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones Library have now been submitted for planning permission. We will also renew our focus on protecting and modernising our tutorial teaching system for the age of generative AI, while continuing to preserve the centuries-old buildings in which that teaching takes place.

Finally, I am excited to begin another academic year as another fresh intake of Worcester undergraduates join us. Your support for Worcester is vital to their enjoyment of their time with us. If you have the opportunity to attend a College event this year, please do come and say hello. It would be a pleasure to thank you in person.

We remain immensely grateful.

Yours,

of the difference you make

Equipping and empowering students

The Equal Access to Learning Fund continues to give vital, practical support to Worcester students facing financial barriers to their studies. It provides equipment, resources, and specialist materials. 27 awards were made through the year, with the average award being £385, a sum which can make all the difference to a student at a crucial moment.

“I am a medical student with reduced maintenance loan from the government and not enough help from the NHS to cover the shortfall. I do part time work such as bar work to make the ends meet, and purchasing this equipment on my own would mean I would be out of my budget and struggle with basic necessities.  This equipment is necessary for my studies.” – Anonymous

Hitting the right note

The Student Instrumental Scheme allows students to learn a new instrument, ensuring finances are not a barrier to music-making. 22 students took part in the scheme in 2025/26, thanks to the kind support of the Abbado Trust, learning a variety of instruments including the drums, cello, piano, and guitar.

“I come from a low-income family in Singapore, so playing an instrument was always a luxury to me, one that my family could not afford. Now, being in a new and more flexible environment at university, I feel like this would be the perfect time for me to venture into something I've always wanted to learn and dedicate the due time and attention to it.” – Isaac (2025, English Language & Literature)

Changing semiconductor manufacture

The Taylor Graduate Scholarship in Chemistry leverages match funding from the Chemistry department to support a student studying for a DPhil. This year’s scholar, Paolo, works on making semiconductor manufacturing more sustainable, by researching novel gases which could replace use of fluorocarbons in industry.

“I am hugely grateful for the scholarship which allows me to focus on research instead of on finding funding. Being offered the scholarship was also the decisive factor in selecting Worcester, although I now realise that was the best decision all along!” – Paolo (2025, DPhil Chemistry)

Coming together for change

The 2025 Giving Day shows how powerful the Worcester community can be when it comes together. 348 donors made a gift to the Worcester Fund, the Boat Club (more on that below), sustainability projects, and student welfare, giving almost £240,000 in total. For a college that works hard to break even every year, that’s a significant figure.

“My time at Worcester College is one I will treasure forever. I hope this donation goes some way towards making it as special for the next generation.” – Briar Keen (2001, Modern History)

Supporting research opportunities

Established this academic year thanks to the generosity of Dr Ateh Jewel and other supporters, the Thrive Fund has helped 14 students of Black heritage to pursue academic and extra-curricular opportunities which would otherwise have been out of reach.

“Without funding, attending the Federation of European Biochemical Societies Conference would most likely have been impossible with the high cost of accommodation. Even if I managed to save enough, concerns about necessities like transport and food would have been a constant worry. With the costs covered by the funding, I was able to fully immerse myself in the experience, absorbing as much valuable information and lessons as possible. This not only gave me an academic edge and increased confidence for next year but also has benefits for my future career. For that I am very thankful.” – Edgar (2024, MBiochem Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry)

Joining the community effort

The annual telephone campaign keeps Worcester students connected with Old Members, and is a very important source of support for the Worcester Fund, the fund which underpins all areas of College life. Thank you to the 360 alumni who had a chat with students, and the 169 of you who made a gift – 19 of you for the first time! Every pound makes a difference (and brings a smile in the calling room too!)

“I’m genuinely grateful for the support, it’s been one of those things that has quietly improved my day-to-day experience in a meaningful way.” – Andrew (2025, MBA)

Tutorials

matter more than ever

Every generation believes it faces unprecedented challenges. Today, however, there is little doubt that we are living through a profound change in the way knowledge is created, shared and consumed. Artificial intelligence can now produce essays, arguments, summaries and even convincing academic discussion within seconds. Social media enables information—and misinformation—to spread globally in moments. The challenge for today's students is no longer simply finding information; it is deciding what to trust, how to evaluate competing claims, and how to construct sound arguments based on evidence.

These are not simply academic skills. They are the foundations of good citizenship, responsible leadership and informed decision-making. Fortunately, Worcester College, as part of the University of Oxford, has spent centuries developing an educational model that is uniquely suited to this challenge.

At Worcester, the Oxford tutorial is at the heart of our educational mission. A tutorial is much more than a small class. It is an intensive conversation between an academic and one or two students, requiring careful preparation, close reading, rigorous analysis and, above all, the confidence to defend ideas under thoughtful questioning. Students learn not merely to acquire knowledge, but to test assumptions, recognise weak arguments, respond to challenge and refine their thinking.

There are few places where intellectual honesty is demanded so consistently. An AI system may provide an answer, but it cannot think on a student's behalf. In a tutorial there is nowhere to hide behind elegant prose or persuasive technology. Every claim must be justified, every conclusion supported, and every assumption examined.

There are few places where intellectual honesty is demanded so consistently.

These habits of mind endure long after graduation. Whether our alumni become scientists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, teachers, public servants or leaders in business, they take with them the ability to analyse complex problems, weigh evidence carefully and make reasoned judgements. In an age when certainty is often misplaced and misinformation can spread at remarkable speed, these qualities have never been more valuable.

Although Oxford colleges deliver a uniquely intensive educational experience, they receive the same regulated tuition fee for UK undergraduates as every other English university. That fee falls well short of the true cost of providing Oxford's world-renowned tutorial system, maintaining the collegiate environment in which it thrives, and caring for the historic buildings that support College life. Like all Oxford colleges, Worcester bridges this gap through endowment income, commercial activity and, crucially, the generosity of alumni and friends.

Providing individual or paired teaching by world-class academics is necessarily resource-intensive. The true cost of delivering a Worcester education exceeds the income received from tuition fees by, on average, around £5,000 per undergraduate each year simply to sustain the tutorial experience that makes an Oxford education distinctive.

The College subsidies the cost of tutorials by £5,000 per undergraduate per year.

Worcester has a smaller endowment than the majority of Oxford colleges and so we have a greater reliance on trading income and the generosity of our alumni and friends. During my time as Finance & Estates Bursar, one of my principal responsibilities has been ensuring that the College remains financially sustainable while protecting everything that makes a Worcester education exceptional. That experience has only deepened my appreciation of how vital philanthropic support is to the College's future.

Every gift that supports teaching helps ensure that talented students continue to benefit from the individual attention, intellectual challenge and academic excellence that have defined Worcester College for generations. It enables the College to preserve an educational approach that remains as relevant today as it was centuries ago—and perhaps even more so.

As technology transforms the way information is produced, the value of human judgement only increases. The future will belong not simply to those who have access to information, but to those who can question it, interpret it and use it wisely.

As I prepared to leave Worcester, I reflected on what makes this College so remarkable. It is certainly the beauty of its buildings and gardens, but above all it is the people: the students whose curiosity inspires us, the Fellows whose scholarship and commitment sustain academic excellence, the staff whose dedication underpins College life, and the alumni and friends whose generosity makes so much possible.

One of the greatest privileges of my time here has been seeing first-hand the impact that philanthropy has on students' lives. Every gift helps preserve an educational experience that equips young people not simply with knowledge, but with the ability to question, reason and think independently—qualities that have never been more important.

The ability to question, reason and think independently are qualities that have never been more important.

Thank you for the support you have given Worcester College. Your generosity ensures that future generations of students will continue to benefit from the intellectual rigour, personal attention and transformative education that define the Worcester experience.

From the

Director of Development

The theme of ‘community’ has been on my mind this year. Seeking inspiration, I went to look up its etymology, courtesy of the OED of course. I was struck by the words ‘participation’ and ‘obligingness’ in the Latin root communitat-, especially the latter. To me, it gestures at the fact that a community’s strength relies on the warmth of its members. This is something we never take for granted. This report is a celebration of that obligingness, and the kindness of everyone who is able to contribute to today’s flourishing College.

My aspiration is that Worcester is not simply an institution you once attended. Rather, I would like to be one of the communities to which you’re proud and happy to belong. Thank you to everyone in the cities we have visited this year, including Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles, as well as New York, Hong Kong and Singapore, Berlin, Paris and Edinburgh, who made us feel so welcome. Thank you to everyone who gave in the Giving Day, towards the Francis Reynolds Scholarship or spoke to a student telethon caller. Thank you to everyone who came to an event, scrolled through an email, and is reading this far! Your interest and care fuels our work.

Your interest and care fuels our work.

I know the students feel the same – they come and tell us so after the telethon, after every event, and sometimes even when they have a chance meeting with an Old Member beyond the College walls. They’re often surprised by how much you care about their wellbeing, their research, and their experience of College today.

This commitment is shown in how alumni and friends have supported Worcester in the academic year 2025/26. We received a wonderfully generous £18,804,000 in donations and legacies, of which over £15,000,000 was kindly dedicated to the Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones Library and the purchase of Jericho Wharf.

Gifts from our alumni community show a commitment to the learning and research that happens in College, as well as a strong desire to give support through the Worcester Fund, so donations can be used where the need is greatest:

To my eye, this pie chart shows that our community of supporters has different passions and loyalties, but comes together to ensure the institution they care for, and all those within it, thrives.

My thanks again to everyone who has supported the College this year, whether you have made your first gift, or have quietly been supporting Worcester for decades.

Yours,

Lack of funding is the overriding reason why those holding an offer for graduate study at Worcester turn it down.

In the previous round of Arts and Humanities Research Council Funding, thirty graduate students were supported across Oxford in subjects including French, Philosophy, History, and English.  In the current round of funding, this was cut to just three places across Oxford. At Worcester, we immediately proposed match funding, thanks to a generous donor’s support, and so we will have three of the UK’s best graduate students in the arts coming to College over the next four years.

This cut in government funding of 90% shows how difficult it is to ensure upcoming scholars receive support. Graduate scholarships change the lives of those who receive the funding, and provide a pipeline of talent which feeds the UK’s incredible – but struggling – research, innovation, and academic worlds. We believe that as a society, we need the brightest minds to be focused on solving the world’s problems. We also believe in the value of music, literature and culture as crucial parts of our humanity. It is how we understand what it means to be human.

The opportunity to study at Oxford should not depend on a student’s personal financial means, but on their academic excellence. Therefore, we are immensely grateful to all our Old Members who support graduate scholarships at Worcester.

Here, MPhil candidate Peter Jones describes the difference funding made, and his first-year of studying International Relations:

Thanks in large part to the generous support of Worcester College and the C. Dillon Douglas Scholarship, my first year as an MPhil candidate in International Relations has been remarkably rewarding and successful.

I am here to study the increasing participation of non-central governments (think mayors, city councillors, county commissioners, municipal officials, and other local government actors) in foreign policy. Many people consider these influences to be beyond the scope of international relations — why should the mayor of a small American or British city be concerned with events in other countries? In fact, they are frequent participants in international relations and their influence is only growing. For example, when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021, more than half of the American mayors who signed ‘sister city’ agreements with Russian cities opted to publicly stand by their Russian counterparts and leave the relationship intact, effectively breaking with President Joe Biden’s core position. More recently, local governments have rebuked tariff programs: in April 2024, the United Kingdom and the State of Illinois adopted a free trade memorandum, as did Scotland and the State of New York. As the transatlantic partnership has grown increasingly tenuous, subnational governments are positioning themselves as important, if less powerful, counter-weights to UK-US decoupling.

Peter, left, with fellow graduate students.

Oxford’s MPhil in International Relations has proven a wonderful program through which to explore these issues. The first year is primarily taught, giving students the requisite skills to produce high-quality research projects. In my time so far, I have gained much greater fluency in a host of quantitative and qualitative methods, ranging from advanced statistical modelling and machine learning to comparative case designs and process tracing. Because the phenomenon I am addressing is at once widespread and personal, it will be immensely helpful to have a strong basis in both forms of analysis. Additionally, the program exposes its students to a wide array of international relations theory through its flagship seminar — covering everything from international hierarchy to nuclear deterrence — which will allow me to ground my work in the larger body of what earlier scholars have contributed to the field. I am so excited for the next year of the program, when the focus is on our individual research projects.

Worcester College has been a vibrant, friendly, and inclusive community in which to base my ‘college life’. Beyond its obviously stunning environment, I have been met with unending warmth and support as I looked to find a new community, having moved here directly after my undergraduate studies in the US. Whether dining at formal hall, rowing with the boat club, attending workshops, playing tennis, or sitting with new friends by the lake, I never had any doubt that Worcester would be a wonderful new home for my two years of postgraduate study.

I have been met with unending warmth and support.

When I first got here, existing students told me that Worcester’s reputation was primarily one of friendliness, which was immediately confirmed when I walked a lap of the grounds and found strangers smiling at every turn.

The scholarship has been particularly integral to my success here so far. Of course, it significantly lightens the financial burden of attendance, which has been an incredible privilege. It also creates community in itself: Worcester creates a tight-knit group of its graduate scholars, from whom I have learned just as much (if not more) than in my classes. In just a few months, I have learned extensively about the research projects of my scholarship peers, which are in distinct fields from mine like philosophy and law. I have also had the opportunity to engage with impressive professors and lecturers. I recall a particularly enjoyable chat with Dr Simon Cowan, with whom I not only discussed the merits of my hometown (Chicago) but learned about his work on economic pricing under uncertain, varying, and imperfect market conditions. I am immensely grateful to have received the scholarship, as it has truly magnified the rewards of my experience.

The scholarship has truly magnified the rewards of my experience.

After Oxford, I hope to employ my new knowledge in the fields of geopolitical analysis and diplomacy. My studies will leave me far better able to grapple with the ambiguous conditions under which the conduct of international politics takes place in this new era. One day, I hope to work as a US diplomat on reinvigorating transatlantic relations and contribute to a new era of geopolitics that (I hope) better emulates increasingly threatened principles like cooperation, trust, respect, and human rights.

Happy birthday!

WCBC turns 200

This year saw 200 years of Worcester College Boat Club, and the club past and present rose to the occasion. In many ways this was also five years since the big reset that was Covid. In 2021 we fielded three racing boats and barely broke even on the Bumps charts, whilst in 2026 we fielded seven racing boats, one of only three colleges to do so. Both first boats are now on the cusp on divisional promotion to the top of Oxford rowing, and we have strong lower boats too, with the blades for the Mens 2nd VIII and Womens 4th VIII (significantly - a crew of actual novices!) being of especial note. We also had strong representation in the boat race squads, and we have several athletes who learned how to row at Worcester trialing next year.

This success in the summer was due to several factors, not least our fundraising campaign, which famously included an overnight ergathon in the Cloisters by the students. This set the club up in such a way that we could subsidise training camps over Easter these last two years. We now aim to enter two external races every term, breaking out of the Oxford bubble to take on the wider rowing world. New boats and blades have also allowed us to keep pace even with the richest colleges, and we recently enjoyed christening a new pair named in memory of boatman Ron Cousins (below). 

All this is predicated on a united club community between students and alumni. Alumni racing at Cambridge Winter Head alongside students, coaching on training camp, and attending Summer Eights dinner has shown the way, but this year it was epitomised at the Bicentenary Dinner held at London Rowing Club, and the Rowpast (below) and Tea at Henley Royal Regatta. A student putting in their all, whether early mornings or huge exertions for the club, is validated when they meet those who did the same, and have carried that flame into their later life. 

A group of women rowing, with paddles in their hands. In the background, there are buildings, trees, and a clear blue sky.

It has been the best anniversary year we could have hoped for - and from it we aim to reach still greater heights in the next few years, especially as we pit ourselves in a position to challenge for Head of the River for the first time in many years. We look forward to seeing many of you there for this journey! 

Yours,

Dr Max Lau
