Study in Oxford

Tucked between the Thames and Cherwell rivers, this medieval city is dominated by the 39 colleges that make up the University of Oxford. The institution’s golden-hued stone buildings dot just about every corner of this city. Study in Oxford, where one in four residents are counted as students, and an academic ambiance permeates every cobbled lane, bookshop and tea room in this charming English city.

Dozens of Nobel Prize winners, British Royals and future prime ministers of Great Britain have engaged in scholarly work here and our long-term study programs in Oxford are designed to immerse students in the city’s academic atmosphere. Enroll in EF’s University Foundation Year if you plan on pursuing higher education in Britain, or take up an internship to jumpstart an international career. EF Oxford is nestled on three acres of private gardens, a mere 10-minute bus ride from the city center.

Surrounded by Academia

There is no place in the world with a richer academic history than Oxford. For centuries, Oxford University’s medieval quads and baroque chapels have been home to British Academia, and little has changed to this day. While the finely-preserved university defines the look and feel of this city, Oxford has all of the high street shops, bookstores and traditional pubs that you’d expect to find in any British city.

Study in Oxford and steep yourself in time-honored traditions. Gather with fellow students for impromptu games of football and cricket on Oxford’s grassy grounds. Glide down the River Isis on a flat-bottomed punt boat, Oxford’s answer to the Venetian Gondola. Do your weekly shopping in the historic Covered Market. And share a pint with local students at the end of a day spent walking in the footsteps of some of Britain’s great thinkers.
