North and Central America & the Caribbean

The strong ties between Oxford and North America, Central America and the Caribbean can be read in numbers. With over 26,500 resident alumni, the United States and Canada are together home to the largest number of Oxford University graduates outside the UK, and the USA is Oxford's largest source of international students and international academic staff. Relative to population, Canada ranks disproportionately high on both lists: fourth as a source of international students, and eighth for international academic staff. Oxford currently has students from eight Caribbean countries and alumni resident in 15. There are Oxford alumni living in nearly every Central American country.
