Description

Composed of 39 distinctive, self-managing colleges, Oxford provides a singular academic experience for the competitive student. Oxford University is the oldest English-speaking University in the world, founded in the 10th century. Your studies are characterized by your intellectual interests, and will require a significant amount of self-motivation and curiosity.

You will be able to study in the sciences, social sciences or arts at one of six colleges: St. Annes, St. Edmunds, Lady Margaret Hall, Hertford, St. Catherine's, and Mansfield. Each college has its own unique character which has been shaped by centuries of history and tradition. While the range of courses offered is broad, you will be expected to focus on a couple of subjects in depth.

Each College offers its own library, teaching staff, housing accommodations and student societies, as well as social, and sport and recreation facilities. You will be fully integrated into the academic and social life of the College you attend, and will be housed in a single study-bedroom in a College-operated residence that includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities.

You'll find that Oxford students pursue their social activities with the same, or perhaps, more diligence than they do their studies. For such a serious academic community, there's a wonderful exuberance in the city of Oxford.
