All Souls College, Oxford
All Souls College (official name: College of the Souls of All the Faithful Departed) is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England.
Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become fellows (full members of the college's governing body).
It has no undergraduate members but each year recent graduate and postgraduate students at Oxford are eligible to apply for examination fellowships through a competitive examination (once described as "the hardest exam in the world") and, for the several shortlisted after the examinations, an interview.
All Souls is one of the wealthiest colleges in Oxford, with a financial endowment of ยฃ420.2 million (2018). However, since the college's principal source of revenue is its endowment, as of 2007 it only ranked 19th among Oxford colleges in total income.
All Souls is a registered charity under English law.
The college is located on the north side of the High Street adjoining Radcliffe Square to the west.
