Caroline Barnes

Hi, I'm Caroline and I'm the Academic Registrar and Director of Admissions at Pembroke College. By the time you embark on your studies you will have already seen my name in your inbox many times as I run both the undergraduate and graduate admissions processes in College. I am the main point of contact for on-course graduates and I am here to help with all aspects of graduate administration including assigning College Advisors, assisting with extension requests, signing off on GSO forms, and managing various sources of funding.

I studied English Language and Literature as a mature student at Harris Manchester College so understand what it's like to be a student here at Oxford University. I previously worked at Pembroke as Tutorial and Graduate Secretary from 2003-2009 (and rowed in the PCBC W1 for a few years too!) and then moved to the Proctors' Office for 11 years before realising I missed College and so I returned in 2020! I'm passionate about supporting our amazing graduate community and helping you all on the road to having a happy and successful time here at Pembroke.
