Did you know?
How old is Oxford?
Teaching existed by 1096 at the latest, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world. It had already been teaching for centuries when the Aztec Empire was founded.
Where is the university's main campus?
There isn't one. Oxford consists of 39 self-governing colleges, each with its own buildings, dining hall and library; students are admitted to a college, and teaching is spread across the city.
Can you borrow books from the Bodleian Library?
No — not even Charles I succeeded when he asked. The library also holds legal deposit rights, receiving a copy of every book published in the UK.
