Campion Hall C ampion Hall, Oxford, a house owned and run by the Society of Jesus, is part of the University of Oxford, which consists of thirty-five large Colleges and six smaller Halls, Campion Hall being one of the latter. Subjects A very wide range of subjects can be studied at Oxford, and Campion Hall accepts students for almost all the degrees offered by the University. Especially strong are the Faculties of Theology, Philosophy, History, Geography, English Language and Literature, Classical Studies, Archaeology, Modern Languages, Oriental Studies, Latin American Studies, Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, Anthropology and other Social Sciences, Law, Music and Medicine. There are excellent libraries. Studies Undergraduate studies have the special advantage of the tutorial system, the traditional teaching method of both Oxford and Cambridge.
Lectures are secondary and optional.
The system places great emphasis on training the student to think for himself, to adopt a critical approach to his subject and to express his knowledge and judgements both precisely and fluently. A Religious Community Campion Hall was designed expressly to house people studying at the University and is situated right among the University buildings. At the moment we are a community of about thirty-five people, about two thirds of the members being Jesuits. We welcome as students members of other religious congregations as well as diocesan priests and seminarians. Laymen are only admitted occasionally and for special reasons.
