Its architecture is designed to conform to the traditional college layout and its modernist spire is a landmark for those approaching Oxford from the west.
As of 2021, the college had an estimated financial endowment of £282m.[6] Due to its small intake, it was the wealthiest educational institution per student in the world as of 2013.[7] Since 2017, Nuffield has committed to underwriting funding for all new students accepted to the college.[8] Owing to its small size and guaranteed funding, Nuffield has the lowest admission rate of any Oxford college; in 2020, only 5.9% of applicants were admitted.[9]
