University of Oxford
Oxford University, founded in 1 167, located in Oxford, England, is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Although the exact founding date of Oxford University is unknown, its history can be traced back to the end of 12 century, and it has been nine centuries. For nine centuries, Oxford University has been a top institution in Britain and even the world. Oxford University and Cambridge University are usually called Niu Jian. They are the oldest and most famous universities in Britain. From 2002 to 20 10, Oxford University has been rated as the first comprehensive university in Britain by The Times for nine consecutive years.
The establishment time of Oxford University is unknown, because it is not an independent event, which can be traced back to the teaching started there in 1096. When the relationship between Britain and France deteriorated and King Henry II banned British students from studying at the University of Paris in 1 167, Oxford began to develop rapidly. It was from this time that the first school apartment was established and then gradually became a college. 1209, the university was dissolved due to student violence (this incident led some students and teachers to leave Oxford and set up Cambridge University). 1265438+On June 20th, 2004, the university returned to Oxford and was chartered. A bill passed in 157 1 confirmed the identity of Oxford University.
University of Cambridge
Cambridge University, located in Cambridge, England, is one of the top universities in Britain and even the world. Cambridge University was founded in 1209 by a group of teachers who escaped from Oxford University to escape the war. King Henry III granted Cambridge University the monopoly of teaching in 123 1. Until the19th century, Oxford and Cambridge were the only two universities in Britain for 600 years. This monopoly does not exist anywhere else in Europe.
Durham University
In addition to Oxford and Cambridge, which many students are familiar with, there are many excellent universities in Britain. Located in the beautiful northeast of England, Durham University is the third oldest university in England, which is famous for its innovative teaching and outstanding academic research. Durham University was founded in 1832. Durham University is a joint university composed of 12 colleges and 2 societies. Many China students talk about the metropolises of Kan Kan, Oxford and Cambridge. They are quite familiar with it, but they don't know much about Durham University, which is equally old.
Durham University is located in the most beautiful city in Durham. The center of this university town is 1 1 Century Cathedral and Castle, which are listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. Durham Castle is now the location of a college of this university. Students from Durham University live in it, enjoying the beautiful scenery and long history while studying. Durham University, founded in 1832, is the third oldest university in Britain besides Oxford and Cambridge. Durham University is a joint university, ranking TOP6 in the UK, and many departments are rated as the first in the UK. It has strong academic strength in many disciplines, especially science and engineering.
Through the introduction of the three oldest universities in Britain, I believe that many students who intend to apply for studying in Britain can refer to the above information and make preparations and plans in advance.
