  • Rowing (JCBC)

    JCBC is a really welcoming environment for any college members wanting to row, whether you're a total novice ticking something off your Oxford bucket list, or an experienced athlete wanting to train with a competitive squad. We compete at both novice and senior levels, within the university network at Torpids and Eights and at external races like Head of the River and Henley. If you're interested in joining the club, want to come to a great crewdate or just want to understand what "blades" and "spoons" are, please get in touch!

  • Choir

    Here at Jesus, we have a non-auditioning choir which practices every Thursday in the College Chapel, and sings Evensong every Sunday in term. It’s the perfect balance of being challenging but not too much commitment. Benefits include free singing lessons with a professional teacher and free Formal on Sundays after the service. There are eight auditioned section leaders in the choir, and this year we have Soprano, Alto and Tenor vacancies (all other singers are unauditioned). There's also a choir tour every summer!

  • Hockey

    Hockey at Jesus College is a bit of no-commitment fun that you can turn up to whenever you want - it's so unserious that our team is joint with Worcester and Pembroke (yes, TWO other colleges). If you enjoy hockey and want to play casually, this is perfect for you - no commitments, no requirements!

  • Ice Hockey (ALTS)

    Jesus runs beginner friendly, non-contact ice hockey. Anyone can play, and it's open to everyone in Oxford! Simply turn up at the ice rink. Sessions run Wednesdays 23:15-01:00 and Fridays  22:15-00:00. Nothing better than late night chills on ice!

  • Interdisciplinary Society

    Why can we only study one or two subjects at Oxford? What if we could dive into completely different disciplines all at once without the burden of exams? In this new society we will do exactly that in a really informal and relaxed setting to foster a creative dialogue between STEM and humanities subjects.

  • Netball

    The Jesus College Netball team is a mixed team that competes in the mixed leagues in Michaelmas and Hilary, and the mixed cuppers in Trinity. No experience needed, just turn up to play in matches. There will be a couple of training sessions to teach the rules and practice but it is a low stakes and fun team that would love you to join!

  • Rugby, Men's (JCRFC)

    Jesus college rugby club offers an enticing array of opportunities. We play causal rugby matches against other colleges on a fortnightly basis, and when cuppers rolls around, the stags put in a good shift. Accompanied by a diverse (and possibly the most active) social scene, you can’t go wrong with JCRFC.

  • Squash

    The club meets every Tuesday from 6-8pm at the college squash courts, but it's fairly relaxed - no need to come for all 2 hours.  All are welcome, and racquets/balls are provided! Throughout the year there's also a range of competitions to participate in, such as Cuppers and the Jesus-Jesus varsity.

  • T.E. Lawrence

    T.E.Lawrence is an informal debating society. We aim to discuss a range of non-technical topics so that everyone who wants to be involved can!
