St Hilda's College (full name = Principal and Council of St. Hilda's College, Oxford) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford[3] in England. The college is named after the Anglo-Saxon saint Hilda of Whitby and was founded in 1893 as a hall for women; it remained a women's college until 2008.[4] St Hilda's was the last single-sex college in the university as Somerville College had admitted men in 1994.[4] The college now has almost equal numbers of men and women at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The principal of the college is Professor Sarah Springman, who took office in 2022.[5]
As of 2018, the college had an endowment of £52.1 million and total assets of £113.4 million.[6]
