Study English in Oxford

If you love learning, then Oxford was built for you. Just an hour outside London, the “city of dreaming spires” has been nurturing great minds for centuries: from John Locke to Oscar Wilde to Malala Yousafzai. An idyllic boating picnic inspired the creation of Alice in Wonderland, while the Harry Potter films borrowed the city’s magical atmosphere for scenes in Hogwarts.
