Oxford was the first University in the English-speaking world. Our aim is to remain at the forefront of centres of learning, teaching and research.
There are over 20,000 students at Oxford, including 11,766 undergraduates and 8,701 postgraduates.
Oxford has one of the lowest drop-out rates in the UK: figures published in summer 2009 by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) show that only 1.8 per cent of Oxford students dropped out, compared with the national average of 9 per cent.
The University has 38 independent and self-governing colleges, and 6 permanent private halls. Oxford has more world-leading academics (rated 4* in the 2008 national Research Assessment Exercise) than any other UK university. Oxford also has the highest number of world-leading or internationally excellent (4* or 3*) academics in the UK.
