Oxford is 929 years old and is recognised as an ancient university in the English-speaking world. With over 26,000 students (of which there are approximately 12,470 undergraduate students and 13,920 postgraduate students) from over 160 countries and territories come to Oxford to create their futures and aspirations.

Another aspect of Oxford is that it provides a unique setting for academic engagement and scholarly inquiry that encourages independent learning and critical thinking through its special collegiate structure.

By nature, Oxford is a research-led university, addressing the most pressing issues of our day and including in the fields of medicine and philosophy as well as everything in-between.

Its rich history intersects with the significant evolution of modern thought and innovation, creating countless historical figures in the centuries since.

Besides, it operates the world's old-aged university museum, "Ashmolean Museum", the gigantic university press, "Oxford University Press" globally, and the monstrous educational library system nationwide.

The University's motto in Latin is "Dominus illuminatio mea" and in English "The Lord is my light" which suggests that the pursuit of knowledge is, in essence, a quest for enlightenment, guided by a higher power or a guiding principle of truth and understanding.

The university is devoted to excellence in research and education, aiming to benefit society on a national and global scale. And it also strives to remain a world leader in knowledge creation and dissemination.

The University of Oxford's origins has not predated any accurate records, and teaching may have occurred as early as the 11th century. The university does not have a definite founding date, but the late 12th century saw its expansion greatly facilitated by the expulsion of foreign scholars from the University of Paris.

Initial university life centred on the University church of St Mary the Virgin and on the first colleges, which were created as residence halls and gradually became independent academic communities.

Historical sites such as the Bodleian Library, dating from the 14th century, and the Sheldonian Theatre, built in the 17th century, illustrate this long and influential testament.

The 19th and 20th centuries saw significant academic reform, the admission of women to study at the university, and the rapid expansion of the range of subjects taught, as well as the extent of research.

Development at Oxford involved the continued foundation of new colleges and the enhancement of its central university structures, leading to its existing status as a world-leading centre for learning and research.

Key Milestones:

1. c. 1096: Earliest evidence of teaching at Oxford.
2. Late 12th Century: Significant growth spurred by the departure of scholars from the University of Paris.
3. 1214: The office of Chancellor is created, marking a step towards formal organisation.

7. 16th Century: The Reformation brings significant changes to the university's religious and academic landscape.
8. Early 17th Century: Construction of the Bodleian Library as we largely know it today begins.
9. 1669: Christopher Wren's Sheldonian Theatre opens, providing a formal space for university ceremonies.
10. English Civil War (1642-1649): Oxford serves as the Royalist capital.
11. 1878: Women are first admitted to study at Oxford, although they were initially excluded from full membership and degrees.
12. Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries: Significant reforms modernise the curriculum and university administration.
13. 1920: Women are finally granted full membership and the right to degrees.
14. 20th Century: Expansion of scientific research and the establishment of new departments across various disciplines.
15. Present Day: Oxford remains a leading global university, renowned for its research, teaching, and the collegiate system.

Over the centuries, Oxford has been involved in many significant historical events and has played an important role in the development of intellectual and political thought in England and beyond.

The university operates a unique collegiate system which comprises 36 independant and self-governing colleges, alongside various central university departments and facilities dispersed throughout the city of Oxford.

Each college operates as a self-contained campus for a large portion of its students, providing some accommodation, dining halls to support social community, libraries that enable academic community, and often chapels, common rooms and other important social spaces for interaction between students.

Student capacity: The university has a total student population in excess of 26,000, spread across the 36 self-governing colleges, four permanent private halls, and three societies.

Therefore, it creates a smaller and more personal academic and social community within the educational institution as a whole. As the colleges vary in the number of students they enroll, some hosting approximately 300 students and some hosting 700 students or more.

Libraries: Oxford has the massive university library system in the United Kingdom (the Bodleian Libraries), which includes the Bodleian Library (a legal deposit library and the second-largest library in Britain) and more than 30 other libraries in the city. It includes major research libraries, faculty and departmental libraries, and vital individual college libraries.

Each college has its own library, typically with both contemporary working collections and older, more significant historical works. The Bodleian Libraries hold collectively over 13 million printed items, huge proportions of e-journals, and exceptional special collections.

Worship: Reflecting its historical and collegiate nature, worship facilities at Oxford are primarily located within the individual colleges. Many colleges have their own chapels, some with rich architectural and musical traditions, offering regular services that are often open to all members of the university regardless of faith.

Beyond college chapels, the city of Oxford has various churches and religious centres catering to different denominations and faiths, which university members can access. Some colleges also provide multi-faith prayer rooms.

College communities: The collegiate system is central to the Oxford experience. Each college functions as a self-governing academic and social community, housing students, and academic staff and administrative staff.

Colleges are a focal point for tutorials, dining hall meals, for social events to take place in common rooms and access to additional facilities such as their libraries.

These are community spaces which engender strong feelings of belonging and interdisciplinary connections amongst students and staff. Graduate students usually participate as a member of a Middle Common Room (MCR) or Graduate Common Room (GCR) within their college, which are responsible for organising social events.

Sporting facilities: There are many sporting opportunities at Oxford, and these are offered by the college system and at the United University level.

Indoor facilities:

1. On site (at colleges and the university): Many colleges have their own gyms, squash courts, and multipurpose sports halls, and the university has more centrally located indoor facilities, the capacity and type of which varies.
2. Off site: There may be access to off-site indoor sports facilities through the university and clubs for badminton, basketball and other various indoor sports.

Outdoor facilities:

1. On campus (Colleges & Universities): Colleges commonly have playing fields for sports such as football, rugby, cricket and hockey; tennis courts; boathouses along the River Thames and River Cherwell; etc. University Parks has large green areas for informal games and some organised sports.
2. Off campus: The university and its sports clubs often use dedicated, off-campus grounds and facilities for some sports, such as larger football or rugby pitches, golf courses, rowing facilities, etc, further along the rivers.

Chapel: As mentioned under the worship facilities, several of Oxford's colleges have their own chapels. They vary in size, architecture, and the frequency and formality of services. Some are historically significant and are architecturally deemed notable. They often function as sacred spaces for worship or reflection and may be used for music performances, as well.

Theatre/performance space: The colleges and university have some theatre/performance spaces. The Oxford Playhouse is a notable professional theatre in Oxford with strong ties to the university. Many of the colleges have their own smaller theatrical spaces or halls that are available for student drama productions, music performances, and events. The Sheldonian Theatre is primarily for ceremonies, but it occasionally hosts music performances.

Science laboratories: The central university and the individual colleges have computer rooms/stations available for student use. These are also often equipped with networked computers with printing capabilities and access to university software and online resources. The libraries also tend to offer dedicated computer workstations.

Boathouse: The University of Oxford has several boat houses along the River Thames (Isis) and the River Cherwell, providing support for the famous Oxford University Boat Club and college rowing clubs. The boathouses provide boat storage, training equipment, and a social environment for the rowing community.  

Gym: As discussed in the indoor sports category, many colleges have their own gyms, while these are equipped with cardio machines, weight training, and space for fitness classes at times. Students are generally given membership to their college gym and may have separate access to the central university sports facilities.

Moreover, there are other related facilities on the Oxford campus:-

1. Student dining halls: Each college has a dining hall (or hall of residence), where students can eat, allowing for a sense of community.
2. Common rooms: Colleges have Junior Common Rooms (JCRs) for undergraduate students, and Middle / Graduate Common Rooms (MCRs and GCRs) for postgraduate students; these are social / recreational spaces.
3. Tutorial rooms: Colleges also provide rooms for the unique tutorial system, where student cohorts meet with tutors in small groups.- Lecture Theatres and Seminar Rooms: These can be located in central university departments, and sometimes within larger colleges.-
4. Museums: The university operates a number of globally renowned museums - for example, the Ashmolean Museum (art and archaeology), the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and the Pitt Rivers Museum (social anthropology and world archaeology) - which are educational resources and social spaces.
5. Parks or green spaces: Similar to all university campuses, there are parks or green spaces for recreation, relaxation, and informal sports.
6. Science laboratories or research facilities: Science laboratories and research facilities (themed laboratories for sciences and sciences)- are state-of-the-art spaces for research on a range of science, located within central university departments.
7. Conference - event facilities: The university and all colleges have a number of different halls and rooms that can be used to conduct conferences, lectures, and other types of events.
8. Student support services: Services for welfare, disability support, and academic skills development are available at the university and colleges.

The University is not a campus university in the normal way, with a central, defined area. Instead, its colleges, departments, libraries and other facilities are distributed across the city of Oxford, which means that students move around the city rather than moving from campus to campus when they have to travel. Here are transport options for students at the University of Oxford:

Public Transport:

Buses: Oxford has a great public transport network, and an extensive programme of buses is the primary mode of transport for students.

1. Major Operators: The main bus companies are the Oxford Bus Company (including Thames Travel) and Stagecoach Oxfordshire. There are many bus routes around the city and beyond.
2. Real Time Information: Oxontime provides real-time tracking for many buses so students can see when they will arrive.
3. Tickets and Passes: Students can purchase single, return, day and longer-term tickets (weekly, monthly, annual passes). Automatic contactless payment is widely used.
4. Student Discounts: The University usually has discounts on bus passes for its staff and students. See the University's Travel pages, which will have specifics about the discounts applicable, as well as all information. A discount for students is provided on the Oxford Tube (a frequently running bus service directly to London) through a valid student ID.
5. Park and Ride: Oxford offers various Park and Ride facilities at the city's edges (for example, Oxford Parkway, Pear Tree, Redbridge, Thornhill, Seacourt). This is convenient for anyone living outside of the immediate city centre, who can drive into the Park and Ride lot then take a bus to their destination while avoiding city centre traffic and parking fees.
6. Night Buses: Many bus services including Park and Ride, operate a "stop on request" service after 7 pm, which allows the passenger to ask the bus driver to drop them off anywhere that is safe along their route.

By Train: Oxford has two main train stations:

1. Oxford Station (Park End Street): This is the main station and has many direct services to places like London Paddington, Reading, Birmingham and various major cities. It is located within close distance to the Saïd Business School and walking distance from the city centre and many colleges.
2. Oxford Parkway (Water Eaton Park & Ride): This station is slightly north of the city and has regular service of trains to London Marylebone, via Bicester Village.

Railcards: Students aged 16-25 (or full time students over 25 years of age) can purchase a 16-25 Railcard, which gives you one-third off most train fares, and can sometimes (depending on what train route you take) give you discounts off any travel in London, including the Underground.

By Park and Pedal or Stride: Rather than an officially organised programme by the University itself, this represents a common practice of:

1. Park and Ride + Cycling: Students may drive to a Park and Ride from which they then take a bicycle to the city centre or their department/college, marrying the convenience of being parked outside the city while providing a quicker and more flexible option within Oxford ahead.
2. Park and Ride + Walking (Stride): Just like above, students might Park and Ride and then walk in the last leg, especially if the destination is a reasonable walking distance from the bus stop in the city centre.

Other options of Transportation:

By Cycle/Bike Rental: Walking and cycling are often the most convenient and popular options for students wanting to get around between different locations of the university, given Oxford's relatively small size. There are many cycle/bike rental options available in Oxford, as cycling is very popular in the city.

1. The local companies Bainton Bikes and Brompton Bike Hire offer rentals.  
2. Voi Scooters is also in Oxford, and permits rental of electric scooters (though you must check the cites regulations on use).

By Uber or Cab: Uber ridesharing services are offered in Oxford.  Traditional "black cabs" can be found at taxi ranks (ex. train and coach stations), and licensed private hire vehicles can be pre-booked.

University Inter-site Buses: The University itself occasionally runs shuttle services between important locations, especially for staff and students travelling to sites further from the city centre. You may be able to find relevant information on such services on the University's internal travel pages.

By Air: Oxford is well-connected to a variety of major airports:

1. London Heathrow and Gatwick - The Airline coach service offered by Oxford Bus Company provides frequently running, direct services, as well as a train option (via London or Reading).
2. London Stansted - National Express and train (via London) options are available.
3. Birmingham Airport - Direct train services are available.

In conclusion, student transportation at the University is primarily reliant on the highly functional public bus system, train, cycling, and walking, as a result of the city's characteristics. The University advocates for sustainable travel and provides resources to assist students with their travel needs around the city.

Oxford provides different types of accommodation to consider the wants and needs of various students, and ensures a comfortable and meaningful living experience. Regardless if your accommodation preference is a traditional college room, suite, or private hall, there are options available.

On-campus accommodation

The majority of undergraduate students live in college accommodation in their first year, and many colleges offer accommodation for subsequent years of study.

Some graduate students may also have access to housing managed by the university. These accommodations are the cornerstone of the Oxford experience, develop a strong sense of community and integration into college life.

Halls of residence & Permanent Private Halls (PPH)

Oxford has a few Permanent Private Halls (PPHs), such as Blackfriars Hall, Regent's Park College, Wycliffe Hall, and Campion Hall which provide housing for students from a range of backgrounds.

For students, a PPH is similar to a college in that they provide accommodation and academic support; however, they have a distinct historical and often religious basis.

There is also private student accommodation like Alice House which provides modern living arrangements on the riverside.

Guaranteed accommodation for first-year undergraduates

The best example of this provision for first-year undergraduate students is that they are guaranteed accommodation from their college. This alleviates a worry about moving to a new city and having to find their own accommodation and settle in, and it allows them to move into college life, studies, etc., without delay. Most first-year undergraduate accommodation is situated on the main college site or in a nearby college Annexe.

Room types & facilities

1. Single rooms: The number of rooms will vary significantly because of their size and historical growth. Some colleges are smaller and have fewer rooms, while larger colleges will accommodate significantly more students. Colleges usually strive to house as many undergraduates as possible, at least in the first year, and often beyond. Students can choose single rooms or shared rooms.
2. Single bed / two-thirds shared beds: Most rooms in college in Oxford are single occupancy with a single bed. However, some colleges do have a small number of twin rooms where two students share or occupy the room.  Twin rooms usually are offered by choice or occupy the room based on availability.
3. Attached/shared bathrooms: Bathrooms may be attached bathrooms (en suite) or a shared bathroom. Traditionally, a great many older college rooms had a shared bathroom on the same staircase or floor, usually shared between a small group of students (3-6), but many colleges are now modernising accommodations; new buildings or refurbished areas have more rooms with attached (en suite) bathrooms. Usually there are more limited attached rooms, and they may be more costly.
4. Attached/shared kitchens: Similarly, kitchen facilities can be attached (i.e, in a student's room, more common in graduate accommodation or parts of annexes) or shared. For undergraduates who live in college, shared kitchens or, sometimes, pantries with basic facilities (microwave, kettle, toaster, maybe a fridge), are more common. Graduate accommodation tends to allow for self-catering facilities with linked or shared kitchens.

Guest accommodation

Oxford also has guest rooms for visiting family and friends, so they can have a friendly place to stay.

Amenities on site

The facilities available on-site (within the college) contribute greatly to student life:

1. Shops: Not every college has a shop; however, many have a small tuck shop that sells snacks, drinks, basic stationery, etc. If you need something larger, it is usually a short walk to the city centre to find what you need.
2. Cafes: Many colleges have a cafe or buttery, serving coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, and light meals. Cafes serve as a way to gather socially and an alternative to dining hall.
3. Restaurants: Dining hall is the primary "restaurant" for students; it provides breakfast, lunch, and formal or informal dinners, all at reasonable prices.
4. Bar: Most colleges have a bar or common room, which serves either for students to socialise or to purchase drinks, which often plays an important role in college social life.
5. Gym: An increasing number of colleges have gym facilities on-site, or they have access to sporting facilities at nearby universities.
6. Bookshop: Not every college has a straightforward bookshop on-site, but many have an agreement with a local bookseller or a limited range of crucial academic supplies. Blackwell's flagship book store is centrally located.
7. Bank: It is unusual for a college to have its own bank branch on-site, but there are several major banks with branches in the city centre, which students can easily access.

A Riverbank Side:

Various colleges in Oxford are located along the riverbank of either the River Cherwell or the River Thames (Isis) with beautiful views and access to punting, and walks along the riverside. These college 'riverbank' colleges, like Magdalen, Christ Church and St Hilda's, provide very attractive riverside locations and green, outdoor spaces.

Green and Outdoor Space:

All colleges in Oxford enhance their significant features of green and outdoor space, including quads (enclosed courtyard), gardens, or playing fields, which provide great areas to relax, socialise, and enjoy outdoor activities. The size and features of these spaces vary significantly between colleges, especially for gardens.

The University of Oxford is located in the historic city of Oxford, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD, United Kingdom. The university's colleges and academic buildings are situated throughout significant buildings and can be discovered across the city, which really creates a unique sense of place away from one single campus.

Surroundings & Cultural Scene

The area of the university is the exciting and busy city of Oxford, which is a vibrant cultural hub with theatres, concerts, museums and galleries.

The Sheldonian Theatre shows musical performances and hosts university ceremonies while the Oxford Playhouse puts on a range of productions.

The Ashmolean Museum, one of the oldest museums, displays art and archaeology, and the Modern Art Oxford gallery shows contemporary exhibitions.

The Learning Hub

The idea of a central learning environment can be found through the many libraries, the study spaces within colleges or modern teaching spaces that are spread around the city. The Bodleian Library (one of the oldest libraries in Europe) is very impressive.

In many ways, it is the hub for learning as it provides students with excellent, unmatched resources for research and study. The city of Oxford is a live and collaborative learning and supporting environment for students as there is no specific learning place, but rather a city with unlimited dimensions in supporting learning.

Recreational Facilities and Landscapes

There are great recreational facilities and beautiful landscapes in Oxford. The University Parks are quiet, Port Meadow is particularly lovely by the River Thames, and the Botanic Garden which has been in place since 1621 is an excellent spot to relax or learn as well.

Dining & Shopping

The various cosmopolitan shops, restaurants, and bars will suit almost any taste. You can find famous pubs like The Eagle and Child where the authors J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis once enjoyed, alongside newer restaurants serving all types of international food.
