Today I will tell you about University of Oxford. I want to tell you this university because now this university  is ranked first in The Worlds University Rankings-Europe.
University of  Oxford

Okay guys now I'll tell you about this university.
Oxford university is located in Oxford, England. This university was built in 1096, but  there is no clear information about it. The University is a 'city university' in that it does not have a main campus. Instead colleges, departments, accommodation, and other facilities are scattered throughout the city centre. Other buildings is library. The University maintains the largest university library system in the UK and with over 11 million volumes housed on 120 miles (190 km) of shelving the Bodleian group is the second-largest library in the UK, after the British Library. University of Oxford also has outstanding museums. There are the list:

  • Museum Road
  • Bate Collection of Musical Instruments
  • Christ Church Picture Gallery
  • Museum of the History of Science, Oxford
  • Oxford University Museum of Natural History
  • Pitt Rivers Museum
Oxford's Library

And about the academic year is divided into three terms. Michaelmas Term lasts from October to December; Hilary Term from January to March; and Trinity Term from April to June. Within each of these terms, Council determines an eight-week period called Full Term, during which undergraduate teaching takes place. These teaching terms are shorter than those of many other British universities, and the total duration of Full Terms amounts to less than half the year. However undergraduates are also expected to do some academic work during the three holidays (known as the Christmas, Easter and Long Vacations). 

And how about the reputation?
Well, this university is an extraordinary university. Oxford has held the first position in the Times Good University Guide for eleven consecutive years. And like I said before, this university is ranked first in The Worlds University Rankings-Europe. And the other said in the 2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities, Oxford was ranked 10th in the world and second in Europe.

Okay guys that all from me. Hope you like it  ^^.
