News and updates from Balliol College
 

July 2017


'It is an immense privilege to graduate from Balliol, and graduation day was a fittingly overwhelming experience for the occasion – from the inevitable nerves in the Sheldonian theatre about uttering the words ‘Do fidem’ at the right time, to the champagne celebrations with family and friends in the Garden Quad. This will definitely become yet another fond memory of my time in Oxford.'
Robert Richardson (2012), DPhil Engineering Science
