Oxford

There are about 90 Universities in Great Britain, the biggest one is London University. The oldest is Oxford University.

Oxford was founded in the 12th century as an aristocratic University.

The cost of studies in the university is rather high. Students have to pay for using libraries and laboratories, as for taking exams.

The university is a collection of 35 colleges: two for women only, the rest are for man and women. There 16 faculties there. Each college is a completely autonomous body, are governed by its own laws. The largest college has over 500 students, the smallest – 100 students.

The academic year has three terms, each lasts from eight to ten weeks. The students have three exams: in autumn, in spring, in summer. Final exams take place at the end of the course of studies. If a student fails the exam, he may take it again. Only two re – examinations are allowed.

Within the first week the freshman meets his tutor who tells the student about his plans, the lectures which he must take, about the requirements for the examination which he will take, about the course of reading for him. Attendance at lectures is not compulsory. Once every week each undergraduate goes to his tutor’s room to read out an essay which he has written and discuss this essay with the tutor. At the beginning or end of each term the progress of the students is tested by the college examinations.

They pay great attention to athletics at the University. The students are engaged in different kinds of sports, take part in competitions between Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

The doors of Oxford University are not open to all. The majority of the students are graduates of private schools, so Oxford University remains an aristocratic university to the present day.
