About Grey College

Grey College is situated right next to the main Mountjoy Science Site and close to the Billy B Library. It has a beautiful landscaped setting on the ‘lower hill’ adjacent to the Botanic Gardens and woodlands.

Grey has just over 1,200 undergraduate students and a further 150 students who are studying for a postgraduate degree. Together with College officers, staff and mentors, they make up our vibrant College community. Grey College is named after the political reformer Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who was a polical reformer who set in train changes that led to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833 and votes for all. His portrait and statue have pride of place in Grey College.
