In addition, there is a continuing education college. Among the 35 colleges, Wanling College has no students, only academicians (including visiting academicians). Each college has a different size, but all colleges have less than 500 students. Students and teachers (academicians) come from different professional disciplines.
Oxford's college system was formed when the university was born, and gradually became a collection of independent institutions in Oxford.
Like most other universities, Oxford University is divided into different departments according to their majors. Departments usually play a major role in postgraduate teaching, providing lectures, courses and organizing examinations. Departments are also usually research centers funded by external institutions, including large research committees.
In addition to colleges, the teaching and research activities of Oxford University (especially the latter) are mainly organized by departments, which are not autonomous units within the university. They are all inter-school institutions and are not affiliated to any college. However, teachers and students in each department must first be members of Oxford University College.
By the end of 20 13, Oxford University had 16 departments: anthropology and geography, biological science, clinical medicine, English and literature, law, classical literature, philosophy and ancient history, mathematics, medieval and modern languages, modern history, music, orientalism, physical science, psychology and sociology. In addition, some research institutes (such as education colleges that recruit graduate students) are not affiliated to the above departments, but directly affiliated to universities.

British higher education stipulates that you generally don't need to take the entrance examination, and you can enter school with your high school graduation results; But you have to register separately to enter Oxford and Cambridge. The procedure is generally like this: first, middle school students who want to register need the recommendation of middle school teachers and principals to register one year before entering school. Therefore, the applicants are generally students with excellent grades. Then Oxford and Cambridge hold a primary election among the admitted middle school students, usually 3-5 times the number of students admitted. Some engineering majors may be lower, and some medicine majors may be more than 10 times.
Admission to Oxford University requires the consent of the university departments and colleges. At the end of the year, students who were initially admitted to Oxford will take the exam at Oxford College. The exam is usually three days, including written test and several interviews (oral test). Students who pass this time can get conditional admission, provided that they get the results of the secondary school graduation examination in the second year. The general requirement is that all three main courses are A's, but it may be very low for students who are cold or want it very much. Students who have obtained this admission can prepare for admission after the holiday if they get the required results in the exam in June next year.
teaching management
School management is strict, and each 10 student school is equipped with a master to take care of students, make beds and clean rooms; In addition, it is also responsible for waking up students who sleep late in the morning and checking whether students are in class.
The biggest feature of Oxford teaching is the tutorial system. Students' tutors are researchers, mostly scholars with excellent academic performance, and have made great achievements in some fields. Tutorial system requires students to meet with their tutors once a week and read their own research and writing papers within one week. In addition, there are many lectures. Every lecture, whether it is a tutor or a student, whether it is a senior or a junior, you can speak freely and discuss on an equal footing, but you should hand in your homework after the discussion. Meet with the tutor alone, read the papers written in a week, and the tutor should comment and ask questions. Poor paper quality and poor defense will affect grades and graduation. Once a week, week after week. British ranking
