Oxford is famous as one of the oldest university cities in the world and the college buildings create a unique atmosphere. But Oxford is not only a centre of study; it is also a beautiful city of parks, open spaces and rivers, all of which you can enjoy during your stay here.

As any bustling cosmopolitan city, Oxford offers a wide range of cultural events all year round in its 5 theatres, 5 cinemas, 6 museums and several music venues.

If you want to go out with your friends, you will find a huge choice of restaurants and pubs for all ages and tastes. Many eating places also have live music too.

During the year there are a number of festivals, such as: the May Day celebrations, Eights Week (Oxford University boat races), Oxford Balloon fiesta, Encaenia, Cowley Road Carnival, St Giles Fair, Bonfire Night and Christmas Lights. You might be lucky enough to be here when there is something special happening - but actually, every day is special in Oxford!

Our students have said that Oxford is:


- Safe - Fun- Interesting - Easy to get to - Friendly

The best place to be and we agree!
