University of Oxford

Oxford has no exact founding date, but teaching was under way by 1096, and the university grew quickly after 1167, when Henry II stopped English students from attending the University of Paris. It is a collegiate university of more than 30 self-governing colleges and several permanent private halls, and undergraduate teaching centres on small-group tutorials. Women were admitted to full membership of the university in 1920.
