Pembroke College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford,[2] is located on Pembroke Square, Oxford. The college was founded in 1624 by King James I of England and VI of Scotland, using in part the endowment of merchant Thomas Tesdale, and was named after William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, Lord Chamberlain and then-Chancellor of the University.[3]

Like many Oxford colleges, Pembroke previously accepted men only, admitting its first mixed-sex cohort in 1979.[3] As of 2020, Pembroke had an estimated financial endowment of £63 million.[4] Pembroke College provides almost the full range of study available at Oxford University.

A former Senior President of Tribunals and Lord Justice of Appeal, Sir Ernest Ryder, has held the post of Master of Pembroke since 2020.[5]
