Welcome to Oxford!

Welcome to the homepage for EF University Preparation in Oxford. Here you can find all kinds of information about your course and your university application.

A Truly Great Place to Study

One of the world’s best university cities, Oxford is home to Nobel Prize winners and esteemed novelists. Its beautiful architecture and old-world elegance have charmed students for over 800 years.

There are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford in meditation, and to read all the books in the Bodleian.

But there’s much more to Oxford than just its universities, libraries and ancient architecture. It’s a young, vibrant city situated right in the heart of England. Here you can find the multicultural restaurants, bars and shops of the Cowley Road, the trendy district of Jericho, and several cinemas, theatres and other entertainment venues for whatever your tastes and interests.

You can also travel easily around the country, with London and Birmingham close by. This makes it easy to visit many of the universities where you might study after your course, as well as really throwing yourself into British culture, both traditional and modern.

Your Gateway to University

Your University Preparation course combines language and academic studies. You’ll achieve the level of English, the academic skills and the subject knowledge that you need to succeed at university in the UK.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

In EF you don’t have to choose a university the moment you walk into the school. Our Academic team will guide you and advise you on what is the best university according to your needs and the career you want to pursue.

Thanks to our partner universities, we can also guarantee the placement to one of the many UK universities – all you need to do is to pass the course and the IELTS. Students successfully completing an EF University Preparation Abroad course in the UK may be placed at one of our partner institutions, though many choose to apply to other prestigious universities within and outside the UK.

However, the course isn’t just about getting in to university. It will also give you the skills to help you succeed when you get there so that you can make the most of the experience of a lifetime.

The University Preparation team – your teachers and programme manager – are here to support you along your journey. We look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Good luck!
