UNIVERSITY OF
OXFORD

The University of Oxford is a research university


located in Oxford, United Kingdom.
The exact date of its foundation is unknown, but
it is believed that by 1096 it was already serving
as a house of studies.
Which makes it the oldest English-speaking
university in the world and the second oldest
that remains open.
The university is composed of several institutions, 38 constituent colleges
and a wide range of academic departments that are organized into four
divisions. All colleges are institutions with self-government within the
university, control their members and have their own internal structure and
activities. Oxford is a university city that does not have a main campus,
since its buildings and faculties are scattered throughout the city center.
Oxford has educated many outstanding students,
including 29 Nobel Prize winners, 27 Prime Ministers
