- St John's offers a uniquely rich environment for the study of the history of art. The college has two exhibition spaces, the Barn and the Dolphin Gallery, in which exhibitions both by established artists and by college members are regularly held. In addition, the college's artists-in-residence programme regularly hosts artists of international status who offer workshops and other events to members of the college.
- Tutorials are led by active researchers who are passionate about teaching and able to draw connections between the course and their current research in a range of fields.
