Oxford Elite

Oxford means many things to many people. Whether you live and work there or are visiting for a short time, you will form your own ideas about the city and university that has grown around this ancient river crossing. As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.
