About Us
Nestled in the heart of Oxford, the Middle Common Room provides a home for all of those who study for advanced degrees at Hertford. As an association of graduate students, we believe that the Hertford MCR is one of the friendliest graduate communities in Oxford.
Every year, the MCR elects a new committee which works to ensure the smooth running of all MCR activities. You can learn more about this year's committee below. You can join the committee in Michaelmas term by running for a position marked vacant below!
