University of Oxford Speciality : Chemical Engineering
programme: Materials

Amazing school – best at what they do for 800 years.

Highlights: the tutorial system, which is a great breath of fresh air in the worlds of standardised tests. Here the education is as customised as possible.
Fantastic social settings – the knowledge on how to present, how to work together, how to network is in the fabric of this school.

Oxford so far, has definitely been intense. There is a large amount of work squeezed into the short 8 week terms, and you definitely need good organisational skills to make the most out of it. Having said that, if you ask for help, every tutor I have had has been very understanding and helpful. If needs be many of them will even move tutorials for you into the holidays. The welfare teams and counselling services have also been fantastic.
So long as you aren’t ashamed to ask for help, Oxford can be the most amazing and rewarding experience.

The university is located in a historical city, which creates a peaceful study environment. Students can get really focused on their projects due to the good atmosphere.

The staff are also friendly and helpful. Students can always get a response on time whenever there are problems. Also the diversity is great. There are lots of opportunities to communicate with people from different backgrounds.
