Oxford University - Degrees Review

Oxford University - Degrees Review

A Brief Look at the University - Oxford University

My website is primarily about online degrees, and reviews of online degree universities offering the usual lineup of associate, diploma, bachelors, masters or phD degrees. However, recently I have been doing research into universities for masters programmes, because I feel that I may want to personally get a masters sometime in the future. And so, it came to pass that I looked at Oxford University, among many other famous, established universities, and decided that since I evaluated it for myself, I should also share it and evaluate it for my readers or for those who may be interested in studying in England at Oxford University. First up - Oxford University is not a single place; it is collegiate university system meaning that there are many colleges here at Oxford University.

Well, it would be simply easy to say the obvious about Oxford University - this is one of the oldest, most established universities in the world, boasting an incredible reputation for academics, with very famous buildings and very famous people having visited and studied there as well. Oxford University is based in the UK in England, and has many colleges - as I said, it's a collegiate system where the university is made up of many colleges rather than a single university.

The colleges and halls of Oxford University are:

Ballilol
Brasenose
Christ Church
Corpus Christi
Exeter
Harris Manchester
hertford
Jesus
Keble
Lady Margaret Hall
Lincoln
Magdalen
Mansfield
Merton
New College
Oriel
Pembroke
Queen's college (where I wanted to study at!)
St Anne's
St Catherine's
St Edmund Hall
St Hilda's
St Hugh's
St Peter's
Somerville
Trinity
University
Wadhem
Worcester

I was looking to study there full time, but since this is an online degrees blog, the question is - does Oxford University have online degrees or distance learning programmes? It certainly does offer physical campus degrees and normal degrees as most universities do.

And the answer is yes - Oxford University offers short online courses, longer online courses, and professional online courses. It also offers distance learning programmes. However, more information is only available on the Oxford University website and usually by request or by contacting the Oxford University people.

Which courses are offered at Oxford University

For short, long online courses and professional online courses, there is little information freely available, so do contact Oxford University personnel if you are interested in studying for a certificate programme there, via distance or online learning.

Apart from that hitch, Oxford University offers one of the best and biggest subject combinations in the world.

Humanities, Mathematics, Life and Physical Sciences, Medical Sciences and Social Sciences:

There are too many courses to be listed here, but the range is basically - incredible, extensive and very wide ranging from Accelerator Science to Astrophysics.

I had wanted to do either PPE (Politics, Philosophy, Economics) or Economics at Oxford University, and now I have considered applying for a masters programmes (MPhil) for Oxford University economics programme. Oxford University's reputation for research and education is quite legendary, although do be warned that many other universities with smaller reputations may be as soon or even better, just that the reputation is not there.

Finance and other important matters here at Oxford University

Scholarships, loans and aid are available, but this is unlike the USA, and hence there are no US government assistance programmes available, and certainly no US veterans or US soldiers, army personnel, etc aid available for US military personnel. In addition, Oxford University probably takes care of British citizens in terms of finance more than it does Americans or international students.

Nonetheless, scholarships, loans and aid are available for outstanding international students of all countries and nationalities.

Why you should study at Oxford University and my own personal recommendations

I think this question of mine - a very standard question - can be waived for Oxford University. Its reputation and fame are enough. I would say that more research is needed in terms of online degrees and online programmes here at Oxford University, but if you wish to study at any of the physical colleges there at Oxford University, right at the heart of England in a physical campus, that would be an excellent investment.
