Department specialty:
There are 39 colleges in Oxford, and their relationship with them is in the form of federalism, just like the relationship between the central government and local governments in the United States. Each college is managed by the dean and researchers, who are experts in various academic fields, and most of them have positions in the school. In addition, six associate colleges-so-called "permanent private schools" run by various religious factions-still retain their religious charters.
Among the 39 colleges, Wanling College has no students, only scholars (including visiting scholars). Each college has different scales, but it has less than 500 students, and students and scholars come from different professional disciplines.

"I think there are two points at the core of university spirit. The first is the pursuit of Excellence in everything, and the second is free and open debate"-Andrew Hamilton, President of Oxford University, UK. Hamilton said that the university spirit embodied in Oxford University is, first of all, an absolute pursuit of Excellence. No matter in teaching or scientific research, it will never be satisfied with the status quo and continue to pursue better.
