History

The Kellogg College is closely connected with the Department for Continuing Education and other faculties of the University, offering part-time courses. The historical beginnings can be found in 1878 when Arthur Johnson began with the so-called " Oxford Extension Lectures"; an institution that ultimately culminated in the founding of the Rewley House on March 1, 1990. The movement tried the Oxford education to liberalize and open the University of ( male ) students from all religions and layers, later also for women.

The Kellogg College was the first college part-time students of the University of Oxford recorded. Since many members alongside their studies continue to work in their profession, Kellogg tries to take on the needs of the most consideration. In general, the College places special emphasis on openness and equality and pursues comparatively egalitarian concepts ( for example, by the rejection of a separate High Table at which the Fellows of the College to eat).
