Given their dual role as both boarding house and educational establishment, individual colleges at Oxford and Cambridge remained segregated for much longer.
The first Oxford college to house both men and women was the graduate-only Nuffield College in 1937; the first five undergraduate colleges (Brasenose, Hertford, Jesus, St Catherine's and Wadham) became mixed in 1974.
The first mixed Cambridge college was the graduate-only Darwin from its foundation in 1964.
Churchill, Clare and King's Colleges were the first previously all-male colleges of the University of Cambridge to admit female undergraduates in 1972.
Magdalene was the last all-male college to become mixed in 1988.[15
