Welcome to the GCU

The University of Oxford GCU (Graduate Christian Union) exists to be a conversation space for post-grads from all across the Christian community in Oxford to come together and think with one another about what it means to be a Christian engaging in academic pursuits: how our faith shapes our academic disciplines, and the other way around.

During term time we have a Monday night speaker series, normally held in the Mitre pub (map here), at 7:30pm.  Upcoming talks are listed on our term card here.  Click the ‘talks’ tab above to hear previous talks.  We have a growing selection of fascinating talks in which leading thinkers and academics engage their research with their Christian faith.

The GCU is supported by a council of advisors, and is inspired by these beliefs.  Read more about the GCU here.
