It was reconstituted in 1974 as a home for the University’s postgraduate community. The head of St Leonard’s Postgraduate College retains the historic title of Provost. The current Provost of St Leonard’s Postgraduate College is Professor Frank Lorenz Müller.
St Leonard’s Postgraduate College organises regular events (such as the weekly Postgraduate Café with free hot drinks and biscuits) for all postgraduates to come together, socially and intellectually, and make new connections.
