Corporate support

Goodenough College Corporate Support and Corporate Membership offers an exceptional opportunity for companies to engage with our work and align with our brand.

Goodenough College was founded in 1931 as a welcoming home for international postgraduate students studying in London. Today, the College is London’s pre-eminent postgraduate residential community, drawing together the very best students from more than 95 countries around the world. Our mission is to inspire intellectual engagement across cultures and disciplines, in an environment where mutual respect and tolerance are fostered and cultural and social interactions are nurtured, enabling our students to gain a truly global outlook.

Our Scholarship scheme ensures that exceptional students can join our remarkable community, regardless of their financial background. Each Corporate Supporter directly supports a Scholarship, giving an outstanding international student an unforgettable experience that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.

Our bespoke Corporate Supporter and Corporate Membership relationships offer highly distinctive opportunities for hospitality, staff engagement and direct connections with exceptional Scholars. Corporate Supporters have unique access to event spaces at the College, within the elegant surroundings of our 1930s home in the heart of Bloomsbury. Benefits can be tailored to your requirements with the opportunity to host a lunch in our beautiful Churchill Room or a Summer Reception for your guests in our glorious outdoor Quad.

Our Corporate Supporter programme is designed for companies wishing to connect with a world-leading organisation that offers the brightest international postgraduate minds, studying in London, access to a dynamic intellectual, cultural and social programme of activities. These include:

A distinguished speaker series, featuring business leaders, current and former government officials, and best-in-field cultural practitioners
Faculty Dinners at which Members are grouped within their subject areas and dine with senior academics and industry leaders
Regular visits to historic institutions and to attend events in London, including The Proms, The House of Lords, Chatham House, and Royal Ascot
Dean’s Seminars, which take place each term in European cities and aim to stimulate the broader development of knowledge in an interdisciplinary atmosphere
A host of sporting and musical activities
