According to the 2012 Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings – based on a survey of 17,554 academics over 149 countries – Oxford belongs to the elite group of six universities touted as the globally recognised 'super-brands'.[74]
Oxford has held the first position in the Times Good University Guide for eleven consecutive years.[75] The University is in second position in the most recent publications of the The Guardian's rankings (2012),[76] Sunday Times University Guide (2012)[77] and third in the The Complete University Guide (2013).[78]
In the 2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities, Oxford was ranked 10th in the world and second in Europe.[79] In the 2012–13 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Oxford was placed second in the world and first in Europe.[80] In the 2012 QS World University Rankings, Oxford was placed fifth in the world and third in the UK.[81] With the exception of 2010, it has been consistently in the top five since the QS rankings began in 2004.

Undergraduate admissions[edit]

Age[edit]
In line with the other UK universities, almost all students are aged 17 or over, and the majority commence undergraduate courses at 18 or 19. However there is no upper or lower limit on the age of those admitted. There is a college, Harris Manchester, that caters only for students aged 21 or over.
Historically, it was common for boys to become members of the university between the ages of 14 and 19.[83] Jeremy Bentham matriculated in 1761 at the age of 13, which was unusually young.[84] Much younger people are still occasionally admitted to the university if they are of the required standard; for example, Ruth Lawrence matriculated age 12 in 1983,[85] as did Sufiah Yusof aged 13 in 1997.[86]

Finances[edit]


The dining hall at Christ Church. The hall is an important feature of the typical Oxford college, providing a place to both dine and socialise.
In 2011/12, the University had an income of £1,016m; key sources were research grants (£409m), teaching funding (£204m), and academic fees (£173m).[57] The colleges had a total income of £361m,[58] of which £47m was flow-through from the University.[57]
While the University has the larger annual income and operating budget, the colleges have a larger aggregate endowment: over £2.9bn compared to the University's £850m.[59] The Central University's endowment, along with some of the colleges', is managed by the University's wholly owned endowment management office, Oxford University Endowment Management, formed in 2007.[60]
The University launched a fundraising campaign in May 2008, called Oxford Thinking – The Campaign for the University of Oxford.[61] This is looking to support three areas: academic posts and programmes, student support, and buildings and infrastructure[62] and having passed its original target of £1.25 billion in March 2012, the target has now been raised to £3 billion.[57]
Academic profile[edit]

Teaching and degrees[edit]
Main articles: Degrees of the University of Oxford and List of professorships at the University of Oxford


Members of the University Congregation pass through Radcliffe square after Encaenia.
Undergraduate teaching is centred on the tutorial, where 1–4 students spend an hour with an academic discussing their week’s work, usually an essay (humanities, most social sciences, some mathematical, physical, and life sciences) or problem sheet (most mathematical, physical, and life sciences, and some social sciences). Students usually have one or two tutorials a week, and can be taught by academics at any other college—not just their own—as expertise and personnel require. These tutorials are complemented by lectures, classes and seminars, which are organised on a departmental basis. Graduate students undertaking taught degrees are usually instructed through classes and seminars, though there is more focus upon individual research.
The university itself is responsible for conducting examinations and conferring degrees. The passing of two sets of examinations is a prerequisite for a first degree. The first set of examinations, called either Honour Moderations ("Mods" and "Honour Mods") or Preliminary Examinations ("Prelims"), are usually held at the end of the first year (after two terms for those studying Law; Theology; Philosophy and Theology; Experimental Psychology; or Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology or after five terms in the case of Classics). The second set of examinations, the Final Honour School ("Finals"), is held at the end of the undergraduate course (for humanities and
