Partnership & Collaboration for Lifelong Learning

Kellogg College has developed a distinctive reputation for working in partnership and collaboration with a diverse range of external organisations, communities and academic networks to enrich the student experience, broaden access to educational opportunities, and generate real-world impacts.

Our approach is grounded in lifelong learning, interdisciplinary inquiry and a genuine belief that the most meaningful education happens at the intersection of academic rigour and external practice. Every partnership we form is designed to benefit learners, partners and the wider public alike.

Heritage, Health & Innovation

Bletchley Park – Our annual Bletchley Park Week celebrates a long-standing connection between the College and the historic site of British codebreaking by producing a series of public events showcasing the importance of the work carried out at Bletchley Park during World War II, and its relevance today. We strengthen the connection through election of a Bletchley Park Fellow, Jacqueline de Rojas CBE (Chair of the Board of Trustees for Bletchley Park)  to join our College community.

The King’s Foundation – We have a long-standing collaboration with The King’s Foundation, which contributed to the establishment of the Master’s in Sustainable Urban Development; the creation of the Global Centre on Healthcare and Urbanisation; and the provision of scholarships which aim to foster research into the role of nature in health and wellbeing. In March 2020, His Majesty visited Kellogg to officially launch the Centre, and was bestowed with the College’s most prestigious award, the Bynum Tudor Fellowship.

Social Impact

Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship – Through collaboration with the Skoll Centre at Saïd Business School, Kellogg fosters richer connections among students and practitioners across disciplines – facilitating dialogue on gender equity, social innovation and global leadership, and placing students in contact with communities of change-makers.

Community & Access

East Oxford Primary School – Kellogg’s local partnership brings primary school pupils into contact with university life, broadening aspirations and demystifying higher education. Kellogg Fellows deliver subject talks, and school staff benefit from engagement with academic researchers, supporting their own professional development.

Academic & Professional Development

We have established collaborations with a number of organisations to extend our capacity to support, design and deliver initiatives for lifelong learning in both academic and professional contexts. Current partners include:

New Hospital Programme Academy – Kellogg is a strategic partner for the Academy’s Transformational Leadership programme, helping to design and deliver high-quality training for senior leaders in the NHS. The Programme combines structured learning, evidence-led insight and reflective discussion, drawing on the College’s interdisciplinary strengths and input from President Professor Jonathan Michie and the College fellowship.

Korea University – Kellogg developed and delivered a specialist, bespoke six-month course as part of a Korea University leadership initiative, which was funded by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP) in South Korea. The course combines academic rigour, practical relevance and opportunities for structured reflection within a collegiate Oxford setting.

Ruskin College Oxford (part of the University of West London) – Kellogg and Ruskin both have an expressed shared commitment to widening participation in higher education. We have formalised our connection through a Memorandum of Understanding which sets out six areas for collaboration: joint events on lifelong learning and access; opportunities for students to take part in selected activities; shared teaching and learning initiatives; use of facilities; collaborative research and publications; and dialogue between our wider networks.
