The preclinical course at Oxford, whilst academically challenging, needs bringing up to date as teaching methods rarely implement active learning. This is something found in college teaching, during tutorials, however – a significant strength of the Oxford system.

Extremely smart professors who can certainly cover all aspects of the course. However, they need to have some courses on how to actually teach or only use professors who have experience in teaching or want to teach.

Oxford is a fantastic institution, filled with incredibly talented staff members and a rich architectural and academic history. This however, is not enough for it to deserve a number one times ranking position. The teaching style is outdated, and the lack of technological modernisation means students suffer to keep up. There is a lack of cohesion due to the individually-operating colleges, and an inefficient monetary spend for the same reason. Oxford could be great, but isn’t yet. It’s prestige is still the predominant reason people attend.

I love Oxford – I’m getting taught by amazing professors doing leading research in their fields, and get to live in a gorgeous, historic town with very active student life. I quite like the University town feel – it really makes it easy to make friends and feel safe and comfortable, but it’s not small enough to ever get bored.

I had a lovely time here- the academic support was second to none. It’s a beautiful city. 10/10 would recommend. Would study again!

Medicine here is a split degree and it’s got a great academic foundation before you head into the wards!

Oxford is simply different from any university in the world! It completely transforms your life to a better person on both academic and cultural levels!

Oxford is not only excellent in terms of research and education, but its college life also offers exposure to students from very diverse backgrounds.
