Oxford

• Oxford was founded in the 12th century, Cambridge in the 13th, and London and Durham both in the 19th century. Some other British universities also have colleges but elsewhere the latter lack the autonomy that they have at these four universities.

• There are nearly 24,000 students at Oxford, including 11,747 undergraduates and 11,687 postgraduates.

• 53 per cent of undergraduates are studying for degrees in the humanities and social sciences, and 44 per cent in the medical, mathematical, physical and life sciences. The remaining 3 per cent are studying for undergraduate level diplomas and certificates offered by the Department for Continuing Education.

• Oxford receives, on average, five applications for each available place.

• The tutorial is a period of studies at Oxford. It offers students a unique learning experience in which they meet regularly with their tutor, either on a one-to-one basis or with one or two other students.

• Undergraduates attend, on average, one hour-long tutorial every week and undertake a considerable number of hours' preparatory work for each tutorial, including reading, essay-writing and problem-solving.

• At graduate level, 36 per cent of students are studying for higher degrees in the medical, mathematical, physical and life sciences and 55 per cent in the humanities and social sciences. The remaining 9 per cent are studying for post-graduate certificates and diplomas offered by the Department for Continuing Education.

• Every year almost 15,000 people take part in courses offered by the Department for Continuing Education, making Oxford University one of the largest providers of continuing education in the UK.

• The University has 38 independent and self-governing colleges, and 6 permanent private halls.

• The relatively small number of students at each college allows for close and supportive personal attention to be given to individual students.

• Colleges offer extensive library and IT provision, accommodation and welfare support, and sports and social facilities.

• All colleges accept both men and women.

• The University's oldest colleges are University College, Balliol College, and Merton College, all of which were established by the 13th century.
