Oxford University

Oxford is a collegiate university and a world-leading centre of learning, teaching and research. It is the oldest university in the English-speaking world, with evidence of teaching as early as 1096 and the earliest Oxford colleges appearing in the thirteenth century.

The University comprises roughly 100 major academic departments, which are overseen by the four academic divisions: Medical Sciences; Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences; Humanities; and Social Sciences. There are also many smaller, specialist research centres and sub-departments, as well as administrative departments, libraries and museums.

The 38 Oxford colleges are financially independent and self-governing but relate to the central University in a form of federal system. The colleges and halls are close academic communities, which bring together students and researchers from different disciplines, cultures and countries. This helps to foster the outstanding research achievements that have made Oxford a leader in so many fields. The colleges and the University work together to organise teaching and research, and many staff at Oxford will hold both college and University posts. Oxford University does not have a campus - its buildings and facilities are scattered throughout the city centre.
