Bodleian Library

Oxford’s libraries are among the most celebrated in the world, not only for their incomparable collections of books and manuscripts, but also for their buildings, some of which have remained in continuous use since the Middle Ages. Among them the Bodleian, the chief among the University’s libraries, has a special place.
First opened to scholars in 1602, it incorporates an earlier library erected by the University in the fifteenth century to house books donated by Humfrey, Duke of Gloucester. Since 1602 it has expanded, slowly at first but with increasing momentum over the past 150 years, to keep pace with the ever-growing accumulation of books and papers, but the core of the old buildings has remained intact.
The combined collections of the Libraries group number more than 11 million printed items, in addition to 80,000 e-journals and vast quantities of materials in many other formats.

Rhodes House is a hidden delight, right in the heart of Oxford. Fashioned after a Cotswold mansion with colonial influences, Rhodes House has been the gathering place for Rhodes Scholars and their distinguished guests for nearly 100 years.
The Rhodes Scholarships support outstanding all-round students at the University of Oxford. Established in 1903 the Rhodes is the oldest and perhaps the most prestigious international graduate scholarship program in the world. Cecil Rhodes's vision in founding the scholarship was to develop outstanding leaders who would be motivated to fight 'the world's fight' and to 'esteem the performance of public duties as their highest aim', and to promote international understanding and peace
Prestigious alumni include students who achieved fame in leadership, science and sport such as Edwin Hubble, Howard Florey, Bill Clinton, Bob Hawke, Naomi Wolf and Bill Bradley, to name but a few.

Magdalen College was founded in 1458 by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, and Lord Chancellor. He wanted a College on the grandest scale, and his foundation was the largest in Oxford, with 40 Fellows, 30 scholars (known at Magdalen as Demies), and a large choir for his Chapel. Waynflete lived to a great age, dying in 1486, by which time Magdalen was equipped with a large income, splendid buildings, and a set of statutes.
Magdalen quickly became one of Oxford’s most prominent Colleges. Kings and Princes visited it, including Edward IV, Richard III and James I. It soon produced alumni who achieved great things in later life, including Thomas Wolsey, Fellow there in the 1490s, and Henry VIII’s chief minister for two decades. Other famous Magdalen graduates include writers Oscar Wilde, CS Lewis and Allan Hollinghurst and politicians including George Osborne and John Turner, former prime minister of Canada. Magdalen has produced nine Nobel Laureates.

University of Oxford
As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris
Oxford is a collegiate university, consisting of the central University and colleges. The central University is composed of academic departments and research centres, administrative departments, libraries and museums. The 38 colleges are self-governing and financially independent institutions, which are related to the central University in a federal system. There are also six permanent private halls, which were founded by different Christian denominations and which still retain their Christian character.
There are over 22,000 students at Oxford, including 11,703 undergraduates and 10,173 graduate students.
Academic staff come from almost 100 different countries and territories, and students from more than 140.
Gifted men and women have studied or taught at the University throughout its history. Among them are 26 British Prime Ministers, at least 30 international leaders, 50 Nobel Prize winners, and 120 Olympic medal winners
