What do our students say?

Christos Floros

"There's no better place in the world to study than Oxford. The city is so beautiful. It's so vibrant and full of students. You've got this seemingly endless source of opportunities. Whatever you want to do in Oxford, you can. So, it seemed like a great choice for me"

Sonia Nosova

"I was worried about coming to a foreign country and finding friends. There’s a good proportion of international students, and I’ve never felt alone. At first there was a bit of a language barrier, but it easily improved in the first months. I also quickly joined some societies. They are a good place to meet like minded students. And there are many societies to choose from; so you can continue with the hobby you used to do at home."

Alberto Nania

"[On academics and teaching staff] They're very prepared to talk with students. I meet with professors, I ask them how I can improve this, this line of the essay or improve the marketing plan. My academic advisor is very prepared and good with helping me progress my work"
