1. University of Oxford

2. The oldest university in the English-speaking world and the first in the UK, founded around 1117 English clergy, who decided to give their clergy education (as opposed to continental, English priests were often illiterate). Oxford under Henry II was a real university city, eventually teaching at the university has become a must for the nobility. The name "Oxford" comes presumably from two words - "bull" and "ford".

3. The University consists of 39 colleges and seven residences - boarding schools belonging to religious orders without the status of a college. Exams, the majority of lectures and laboratory classes organized centrally and colleges hold individual sessions with students and seminars.

4. Admission to Oxford: Entrance requirements for admission are a good secondary school diploma (or certificate of receipt previous level of education with high marks), compliance with the requirements of English and proof of ability to pay.

5. UK entrants are beginning to prepare for admission well before applying. Excellent language skills, excellent grades in school, and weigh their financial capabilities require lengthy and serious work. However, as a support for gifted and talented young people who want to get a prestigious education, there is a so-called Oxford scholarship, but to get it, you need to work hard.

6. In October and November, before the planned start of the year of training, applicants are applying to colleges. The special committee considers the estimates ( only excellent, A-level), letters of recommendation, conducts interviews. In some cases, the prospective student may be asked to show their written work, conduct their own written tests. (School of standardized exams in the UK and are held at schools and central examination boards - examination boards, accredited by the state. ) Because of a university offered before most students finish school exams, students are generally accepted on the condition that their evaluation of the new academic year will be no less than the agreed points (conditional offer). It is also necessary to know English better than the English ( on certificates IELTS - 7.0, TOEFL - 230). Education is not free : the cost of living per year - about 8,000 pounds, the tuition fee is dependent on the chosen specialty - art - 6,300 pounds ; Science - 8400 pounds, medicine - 15,400 pounds. For admission to graduate and post-graduate candidates submit applications to the relevant department. Statements should not be applied in the same year at the same time in the Oxford and Cambridge universities
