University of Oxford Reviews and Ratings: Student Reviews, Campus Reviews, Faculty Reviews

The terms are fast-paced and highly academic. Even though sometimes the academic load can get high, it was always manageable for me. The problem sheets favor quality over quantity. As for other social activities, there are lots of opportunities to join clubs and societies, little social events in your college and also your subject department. Lots of talks and workshops. We have formal dinners every now and then where you dress up. The exams are also traditionally taken and you must wear formal clothing.

Admin is not really great, it is not very systematic. But otherwise you meet a lot of smart people. I never thought I would enjoy going for debates but we have many debates at the Oxford Union where esteemed speakers from around the world come to exchange thoughts and ideas. The formal dinners let you explore the different colleges across Oxford University. There is almost no medical help available unless it is fatal so carry medicines/bandages etc.

The candidates need to pass IELTS with a minimum score of 7 and minimum 100 in TOEFL. You apply through UCAS, as for any other university. The full information is contained in the University's Undergraduate Prospectus.To become a student at Oxford you need to be accepted by a particular college, though you apply through a central admissions system. If you don't know which college to name as your preference you can make an open application: details of this are also in the undergraduate prospectus. Candidates are shortlisted for interview on the basis of their academic record and promise, as detailed in the selection criteria. Interviews take place in December. 

I chose Oxford University for obvious reasons as it is top-ranked, and I needed foreign accreditation to progress in my teaching career. Plus, it was a distance learning program so I was able to study while I worked. It also had a residential module which gave me an opportunity to meet my peers from all over the world. Also, since the ratio of instructors to students is very low. Only 13 fellows were admitted each year, making it easy for professors to give individual attention to each student.

Oxford is best for my chosen course. It is one of the only courses in the world that lets students gain practical experience in micromanipulation, in vitro maturation and embryo biopsy.

Because University of Oxford is one of the best university in the world, always top 10 in almost all university ranking website and Oxford also has a lot to offer to students

Oxford has a prestigious reputation and is one of the best universities in the world. This improves job prospects, as well as teaching and facilities provided, are high quality.
