Why Oxford?
Walk in the footsteps of intellectual, scientific and political giants
The beautiful and historical City of Oxford is one of the world’s greatest and oldest intellectual hubs, housing
two universities, state-of-the-art hospitals, and several research and business centres. In particular, the
University of Oxford – founded probably in the 11th century – is the oldest and one of the most prestigious
educational establishments in the United Kingdom and the world. Oxford has produced many of the world’s
leaders in science, politics, civil service and business, including 50+ Nobel Laureates, 25+ British Prime
Ministers and 50+ Olympic medal-winners. Oxford is not just a great seat for learning; its unique charm
extends to its convenient and central location, easy access to London and international airports, historical
buildings, excellent shops in the newly-built Westgate Centre and Bicester Village – one of Europe’s largest
designer outlets. So Oxford is a perfect place for an introduction to the world!
