“I feel like we’re such an eclectic group at Emmanuel. Even if you’re pretty unique, you'll end up finding a group of people who are interested in similar things. And it’s people who are interested in totally different things that you learn from.”
Resident Applications
You can apply to Emmanuel before you receive your university offer. If we are your first choice, we encourage you to lodge your application in our first offer round to give yourself the best chance of securing a place for 2026. The earlier you start the application process, the better.
With this in mind, it’s also important to understand that applying early doesn’t guarantee you a place at Emmanuel College. Our admissions team weighs up the many qualities and perspectives that future students could bring to our community.
Our goal is to achieve a diverse cohort of students that reflects society in general: a community of different genders, cultures and home geographies, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual identities, ethnicities and races, extracurricular abilities and more.
