An Oxford Education
We want to ensure that the best students, regardless of background, apply to Oxford. Every year we visit hundreds of schools and colleges. In 2012 our summer schools are expanding to offer 750 places to high performing state school and college students.
Our students receive an intensive education, including frequent tutorials, and are taught by academic leaders in their field. Colleges provide multidisciplinary communities within which students are supported and intellectually challenged.
An Oxford education provides a fantastic platform for the future. Oxford helps people realise their potential and develop skills for life. Our students go on to achieve outstanding things in all walks of life all over the world.
