The University of Oxford (informally Oxford University, or simply Oxford), located in the English city of Oxford, is the oldest surviving university in the English-speaking world and is regarded as one of the world's leading academic institutions. Although the exact date of foundation remains unclear, there is evidence of teaching there as far back as the 11th century. The University grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris. In post-nominals the University of Oxford is typically abbreviated as Oxon. (from the Latin Oxoniensis), although Oxf is sometimes used in official publications. After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled north-east to Cambridge, where they established what became the University of Cambridge. The two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of British society, the two universities also have a long history of rivalry with each other. Most undergraduate teaching at Oxford is organised around weekly essay-based tutorials at self-governing colleges and halls, supported by lectures and laboratory classes organised by University faculties and departments. League tables consistently list Oxford as one of the UK's best universities, and Oxford consistently ranks in the world's top 10. The University is a member of the Russell Group of research-led British universities, the Coimbra Group, the League of European Research Universities, International Alliance of Research Universities and is also a core member of the Europaeum. For more than a century, it has served as the home of the Rhodes Scholarship, which brings students from a number of countries to study at Oxford as postgraduates. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Im Thinking about becoming a Doctor and but i really want to study at oxford university. I looked at the homepage and it says it offers medical science. Could I study there and become a doctor or should i go to a proper medical university? Asked by Emily - Thu Aug 20 16:26:13 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ignore the answer above. She is talking about the American system to become a doctor and that is different to the UK system. You don't get 'proper medical universities'. To become a doctor you need to study medicine at a university which offers that course. Oxford does indeed offer medicine as a course and if you were to take that 6 year course it would mean that you become a doctor.
