Until 2012, the Master of the hall was always a Benedictine monk from Ampleforth. On 1 September of that year, [[Werner Jeanrond]], formerly holder of the [[Professor of Divinity, Glasgow|1640 Chair of Divinity]] at the [[University of Glasgow]], became the new Master. He was the first Catholic [[layman]] ever to run the hall. Jeanrond became a full member of the [[Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford|Faculty of Theology and Religion]] at Oxford and was engaged in both teaching and research, as well as serving as head of house.<ref name="The Tablet pp.9-11"/> 

Until 2016, St Benet's was the last constituent body of the University of Oxford admitting only men. It was also the last single-sex college or hall in the university after [[St Hilda's College, Oxford|St Hilda's College]], the last all-women's college in Oxford, admitted men in 2008. In November 2013, under Professor Jeanrond, the hall announced its intention to admit women graduate students within one year and women undergraduates as soon as additional housing facilities were obtained.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gurney-Read|first=Josie|title=Oxford hall announces decision to admit women|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10497607/Oxford-hall-announces-decision-to-admit-women.html|work=The Telegraph|access-date=8 December 2013}}</ref> Women were admitted as graduate students in October 2014, and as undergraduates in October 2016. Thus 2016 was the year when all constituent colleges and halls of the university became fully coeducational. (The [[University of Cambridge]] retains two constituent colleges for female students only.)

To allow for the admission of undergraduate women, in October 2015 St Benet's Hall acquired a hall of residence owned by the [[Society of the Sacred Heart|Sisters of the Sacred Heart]], at 11 [[Norham Gardens]], next to [[University Parks]] and near [[Lady Margaret Hall]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Second Building for St Benet's Hall|url=http://www.st-benets.ox.ac.uk/~A-Second-Building-for-St-Benets-Hall|website= St Benet's Hall|access-date=10 September 2015}}</ref> So the hall became a co-educational academic community, latterly consisting of 84 undergraduate students and 48 graduate students of all faiths and none.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The degree subjects to which the last undergraduate students were admitted by St Benet's were: [[Theology]], Philosophy and Theology, Theology and [[Oriental studies|Oriental Studies]], History, History and Politics, History and Economics, [[Philosophy, Politics and Economics]] (PPE), [[Classics]], Classics with Oriental Studies, Oriental Studies (Egyptology; Egyptology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Islamic Studies, Hebrew Studies, and Jewish Studies), Oriental Studies with Classics, and [[Human science|Human Science]].<ref>[http://www.st-benets.ox.ac.uk/admissions.htm St Benet's Hall, Oxford] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822133524/http://www.st-benets.ox.ac.uk/admissions.htm |date=2010-08-22 }}.
