We are committed to extending the global reach of the University of Oxford, working with colleagues across the University. Global audiences engage with the University through the Department's rich diversity of web-based programmes, summer schools, short courses, evening and weekend classes, and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate-level programmes. Courses are taught flexibly, often with short periods of intensive study, thereby attracting students who might not otherwise be able to study full-time at Oxford.  To learn more visit our website: Department for Continuing Education 

The Campaign for the University of Oxford

In May 2008, the University of Oxford launched the biggest fundraising campaign in European history. It is a high profile international effort centred on Oxford’s overall academic priorities to transform the University for many generations to come, with three main goals:

• To attract and support the very best students, irrespective of their financial situation.
• To invest in academic posts and programmes, securing permanent posts and research funding to attract and retain the world’s finest academics.
• To provide the buildings and infrastructure to support some of the world’s most advanced research centres and teaching facilities and to preserve the unique spirit of the Colleges and University of Oxford.
