Admissions

Asia

The University of Oxford is currently home to over 576, full degree, undergraduate students from the Far East. We seek to recruit the most academically gifted students and welcome students from over 138 different countries. Our students receive an intensive education, including our distinctive tutorials, and are taught by academic leaders in their field. Colleges provide mutlidisciplinary communities within which students are supported and intellectually challenged, and where they have the opportunity to meet with students from all walks of life.

"The reaction from the students has been very positive, with a number talking about the need to get working if they are to be able to aspire to what you set out for them.
