The University of Oxford, founded in the 11th Century, is the English-speaking world's oldest university. It is located in the city of Oxford and is comprised of 39 colleges and 4 private halls.

Oxford is particularly renowned for its unique degrees in PPE (Philosophy, Politics, & Economics), Economics & Management, as well as its unsurpassed Classics programmes. It has educated many UK prime ministers as well as international leaders and inspiring figures such as Malala Yusafszai.
 
Oxford’s science is equally impressive, with the UK Covid vaccine having been produced by a team of Oxford academics working in collaboration with AstraZeneca.

Please note that while we draw inspiration from the esteemed traditions of Oxford and Cambridge, we operate independently and are not formally affiliated with Oxford University, Cambridge University, or any other university facilities.
