University of Oxford

Oxford is a world-leading centre of learning, teaching and research and the oldest university in the English-speaking world.

Oxford is an independent and self-governing institution consisting of the University, its divisions, departments and faculties, and the colleges.

The University seeks to protect and grow its income streams by diversifying income sources and pursuing an ambitious development strategy which seeks to fund core long-term academic activities. A key source of income is fundraising, led by the Development and Alumni Engagement office. The generosity of donors helps us to ensure that the most talented students can study here regardless of their background, that our research provides benefit on an international scale and that our expertise is brought to bear on some of the world’s biggest challenges.
