University of Oxford

The Institution of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, was founded in 1096. The institution, which is now rated fifth in the world, has ties to an amazing 69 Nobel Prize winners, and many more famous and important individuals have walked through its ancient doors.

Iconic structures like the Radcliffe Camera library are emblems of academics all across the world, and Harry Potter fans may recognize sequences from the film, such as the Hogwarts Great Hall (filmed at Christ Church College).

The University of Oxford has a nearly millennium-long history: although no precise establishment date is known, the earliest traces of teaching at Oxford date back to 1096. The oldest institution in the English-speaking world is one of the greatest in the world, consistently placing first in national and international rankings.
