About Green Templeton College
Green Templeton was formed by the merging of Oxford's Green and Templeton Colleges.
As an all-postgraduate college, Green Templeton has a single common room for its Students and Fellows, to encourage their interaction.
The merger between Green College and Templeton College was the first in the University's modern history. After being approved by the University Council and the Governing Bodies of both colleges, it was formally announced in July 2007. Green Templeton College (GTC) was officially opened on 1 October 2008.
Building on the already established strengths of the Green and Templeton Colleges, GTC focuses on a variety of subjects, especially those in the medical and life sciences, the management sciences, and a range of social sciences.

That some great love is over all we do,
And that is what has driven us to this fury, for so few
