Graduate House is part of St Paul’s College, the oldest university college in Australia, and its members and alumni are Paulines. The Graduate House community includes 120 postgraduate students and up to 20 academics. Graduate House is open to men and women.
In a beautiful physical environment inspired by the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, academics and postgraduate students live and work together in an enriching academic setting at the heart of the university. Members benefit from top quality communal meals, seminars with distinguished academics, recreational activities and facilities, and a thriving and welcoming community of peers.
The House has its own Refectory, Common Rooms, study spaces, garden, and a beautiful roof terrace with views over the University and the city. Members also have access to other facilities of St Paul’s College, including the Mansfield library, Chapel, oval, and gymnasium.
Graduate House offers accommodation of a very high standard, in en-suite studios and apartments, all with their own kitchen facilities.
Social Life
College life means having a rhythm to days, weeks, semesters, and years. This includes everything from meals and tutorials to sport and events. The College organizes cooking classes, sporting activities, Feasts, and seminars, and there is always something happening in the House. The student members of the House elect the Middle Common Room (MCR) committee to represent them and to support the social atmosphere of the College. The MCR arranges regular social activities ranging from the annual Winter Ball to excursions and informal gatherings. Most members find that College comes to be the centre of their social lives, and life-long friendships form and are strengthened in our community.
