What people say

"The University of Oxford, often referred to simply as Oxford, is one of the oldest (as early as 1096) and most prestigious universities in the world. 🎊 As Italian I’m proud to affirm that Oxford contends with the University of Bologna for the title of the oldest university in continuous operation in the Western world. There are 38 self-governing colleges (most notables: Christ Church, Balliol, and Magdalen) and six permanent private halls. Notable Alumni that studied at Oxford: many British prime ministers, including Theresa May and Boris Johnson, writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Oscar Wilde and renowned scientist like Stephen Hawking."

"Step onto the hallowed grounds of the University of Oxford, where spires and quads echo centuries of academic excellence. With its storied colleges, majestic architecture, and scholarly ambiance, the university invites visitors to immerse themselves in the intellectual legacy of one of the world's oldest and most prestigious institutions."
"Die Divinity School, ein im 15. Jahrhundert errichteter Saal, von Oxford war in den beiden ersten Potter-Filmen als Krankenflügel zu sehen. Die direkt darüber liegende Duke Humfrey’s Library, ein großer Lesesaal, diente den Filmemachern als Bibliothek von Hogwarts."
