Senior Common Room

Ustinov College Senior Common Room exists to support the life of the College and to enhance its integration into the wider University and local community.

The membership of Ustinov College’s SCR is as lively, diverse, and engaging as our international postgraduate community. As an SCR member, you are invited to formal dinners, topical seminars with academics from around the world, history walks, sightseeing trips, and a range of social events—from cheese & wine evenings to family fun days.

The SCR co-hosts some of the College’s academic, cultural, and community events. In addition, members are invited to Graduate Common Room-led sports events and social entertainment, such as film nights and a weekly pub quiz.

We welcome the ideas and support from all our members to achieve our vision and mission. If you would like to become more involved, please contact the committee on [email protected].
