St Benet's Hall (known colloquially as "Benet's") is a Permanent Private Hall (PPH) of the University of Oxford. Established in 1897 by Ampleforth Abbey, it is a Benedictine foundation whose principal historic function was to allow its monks to study for secular degrees as undergraduates within the University. Today, most members of the Hall are not monks, but lay undergraduates. The Hall, which is still owned by Ampleforth Abbey, has a Benedictine and Roman Catholic ethos. However, there is no requirement that members of the Hall should be Catholics.
The Hall is currently the only constituent body of the University admitting men alone to read for undergraduate degrees. However, in November 2013, the Hall formally announced its intention to admit women undergraduates as soon as new housing facilities are obtained. Women are already eligible to be admitted to read for graduate degrees, although none have been admitted to date.
