4 reasons why Oxford is a great place to study
Known for its academic excellence and beautiful surroundings, Oxford is one of the most attractive places in the world to study. As a student, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in centuries-old learning traditions, gothic and neoclassical architecture, a vibrant social scene, and so much more. Read on for 4 unbeatable reasons to study in the City of Dreaming Spires:
Intensive learning:
Student life at Oxford University centres around forty-four colleges. You can access world-class libraries, research facilities, and academic resources. One unique aspect is the tutorial system. Undergraduate students have one or two weekly tutorials with teaching staff in small groups to analyse academic topics in depth. This personal approach to learning provides an extraordinary level of support. It encourages the development of critical thinking and analytical skills.
A buzzing social life:
There is a wide range of student societies and clubs to join, from sports and music groups to political and social organisations. These allow you to connect with like-minded peers and explore interests and passions outside the classroom. Oxford University is also famous for its traditional ceremonies, such as May Morning, where students and residents gather on the streets to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Exhilarating culture:
Oxford offers a wealth of cultural and social activities. The city is home to some of the world's most famous museums and galleries, including the Ashmolean Museum, the Museum of the History of Science, and the Bodleian Library. You can also attend lectures from experts or noted celebrities, music concerts and comedy, and explore historic streets and buildings.
Beautiful scenery:
If you need a break from the intense pace of academic life, Oxford University's many green spaces offer the perfect escape. The city has over fifteen-hundred acres of parks, including the University Parks, Port Meadow and the Botanic Garden and Arboretum. An ideal chance to relax alone or with friends and classmates and enjoy the natural beauty of the city.
