Edit the school characteristics of this paragraph.
There are currently 39 colleges in Oxford, and their relationship with schools is just like that between the central government and local governments in the United States.
The sample is in the form of federalism. Each college is managed by the dean of the college and several researchers, who are experts in various academic fields, and most of them have positions in the school. Six quasi-colleges (called "permanent private schools"-run by various religious factions) still retain their religious charters. In addition, there is a continuing education college. Among the 35 colleges, Wanling College currently has no students, only academicians (including visiting academicians). Each college has a different size, but all colleges have less than 500 students. Students and teachers (academicians) come from different professional disciplines. In addition to colleges, the teaching and research activities of Oxford University (especially the latter) are mainly organized by departments, which are not autonomous units within the university. They are all inter-school institutions and are not affiliated to any college. However, teachers and students in each department must first be members of Oxford University College. Oxford now has 16 departments: anthropology and geography, biological sciences, clinical medicine, English and literature, law, classical literature, philosophy and ancient history, mathematics, medieval and modern languages, modern history, music, orientalism, physical sciences, physiology, psychology, sociology, theology and art. In addition, some research institutes (such as education colleges that recruit graduate students) are not affiliated to the above departments, but directly affiliated to universities. By the end of 12 century, Oxford had become an important education center. Scholars from continental Europe and other places have settled here, and 1096 has some teaching activities. 1 167 The xenophobic activities of the University of Paris made many British scholars leave France and return to Oxford, England. The establishment time of Oxford University is unknown, because it is not an independent event, which can be traced back to the teaching started there in 1096. When the relationship between Britain and France deteriorated and King Henry II banned British students from studying at the University of Paris in 1 167, Oxford began to develop rapidly. It was from this time that the first school apartment was established and then gradually became a college. 1209, the university was dissolved due to student violence (this incident led some students and teachers to leave Oxford and set up Cambridge University). 1265438+On June 20th, 2004, the university returned to Oxford and was chartered. A bill passed in 157 1 confirmed the identity of Oxford University.
Edit this school organization
Oxford consists of a central school (including school and department libraries and science laboratories), 38 colleges and 7 permanent private halls (PPHs). These colleges are not only dormitories, but are essentially responsible for undergraduate and graduate teaching. Some colleges only accept graduate students, usually new ones established in the past century, such as wolfson College. Moreover, there is a college that does not enroll students at all, and that is Wanling College. Oxford's college system was formed when the university was born, and gradually became a collection of independent institutions in Oxford. Like most other universities, Oxford University is divided into different departments according to their majors. Departments usually play a major role in postgraduate teaching, providing lectures, courses and organizing examinations. Departments are also usually research centers funded by external institutions, including large research committees.
Edit this paragraph for admission.
Undergraduate enrollment is approved by independent colleges, and their students will receive tutor education in colleges and lectures and courses in universities. The notice of graduate students is decided by each department first, and then by the relevant colleges. Unlike elite schools (mainly private schools) in the United States, Oxford (and Cambridge) are public institutions, and they cannot publicly show their "donation preference" (that is, a child with a high socio-economic status has a greater advantage than a child with a low social status in applying for a school). 187 1 canceled the requirement that undergraduates must believe in the Anglican church. Before 1920, knowledge of ancient Greece was necessary. Before 1960, you need to know Latin. Women can't get an Oxford degree until 1920.
Edit this famous Oxford man
In addition to the famous Rhodes scholar, Oxford has produced at least1/kloc-0 kings from seven countries, six British kings, 47 Nobel Prize winners, and 53 presidents and prime ministers from 19 countries, including 25 British prime ministers (including 13 from Christian Church College) and/kloc.

Oxford University has a strong research force. Among its teachers, there are 83 members of the Royal Society and 125 members of the British Academy of Sciences. In mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, medicine and other fields, it is among the best in Britain and even the world. In recent years, Oxford has made remarkable achievements not only in liberal arts but also in science, not only in basic science, but also in applied science research. University of Oxford
In the field of biomedicine, since Fleming discovered penicillin in London, Oxford scientists Flory and Tsai En put it into clinical application in the 1940s, and they won the Nobel Prize. The most widely used antibiotic 1955 was discovered by Edward Abraham of Oxford. Oxford University is also committed to applying molecular biology to clinical practice, applying the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance to medical diagnosis, and playing a leading role in discovering the human immune melon system and applying genetic engineering technology to clinical problems. The college also has great potential in HIV, transplant surgery and genetic disease research. 1987 Squibb & Sons donated 20 million pounds to the Department of Pharmacy to support their research work. In the field of environmental science, Oxford's research involves forest history, climate change, remote sensing, land use, wildlife protection, livestock management, pollution, corrosion, desert invasion and many other topics. Oxford is in a leading position in solid-state physics, high magnetism, laser research, elementary particle research and atmospheric physics. Clarendon Laboratory of Physics Department plays a special role in the field of nuclear research in the world. Basic research has also led to important industrial development, including the establishment of enterprises such as Oxford Instruments and Oxford Laser Company. In the Department of Chemistry alone, there are currently four Nobel Prize winners in Oxford. Great achievements have been made in protein, synthesis of new inorganic materials and computer-aided design of molecules. , and has been widely used in chemical industry, medicine, microelectronics industry and other fields. Oxford has also made great achievements in the fields of internal dynamics of the earth, research on land boundary deformation, low temperature treatment and paleontology. Oxford Institute of Mathematics is in the forefront of many branches of mathematics in the world, and computer science research also has a certain position at home and abroad. Oxford is an internationally recognized British economic center. Not only experts in finance and management disciplines, but also experts in law, psychology and natural science participated in the study of economics. 1987 the number of Oxford graduates entering the industrial and commercial field exceeds the number of people employed in other industries. Oxford University is also very active in the study of development economics and international relations, and is also known as one of the most active centers for the study of contemporary China.

Edit this paragraph, school profile.
Cambridge University [1] was founded in 1209 by a group of teachers who escaped from Oxford University to avoid fighting. King Henry III granted Cambridge University the monopoly of teaching in 123 1. Cambridge University and Oxford University are the two best universities in Britain, collectively known as "Oxford" and one of the top ten universities in the world. There are 88 Nobel Prize winners in this school (in fact, there are more than 65,438+000 people working or teaching in this school, but the official data of Cambridge University depends on whether students or teachers are members/researchers of this college, so the official statistics are 88 people. Cambridge University is a member of Russell Group, a British elite university alliance, and coimbra group, a European university alliance. The current headmaster is Alison Richard. Cambridge, where the University of Cambridge is located, is a small English town with 65,438+10,000 residents, less than 654.38+000 kilometers away from the British capital London. There is a river that runs through this town. It is named "Kanghe". As early as 43 BC, Roman soldiers were stationed on this river and later built on it. Most colleges, research institutes, libraries and laboratories are in this town, in addition to more than 20 churches. school badge
Cambridge University has 365,438+0 colleges, three women's colleges and two specialized graduate schools. Each college has a different historical background and implements a unique college system. 365 and 438+0 colleges and universities with different styles are responsible for their own profits and losses. Cambridge University is responsible for student planning and teaching. Each college has different admission procedures. To some extent, each college is like a micro-university, with its own school rules and disciplines. Peter College, the first college of Cambridge University, was established in 1284, and other colleges were established in 14 and15th century. Many places in Cambridge University have preserved their features since the Middle Ages, and ancient buildings that have been carefully maintained for hundreds of years can be seen everywhere. The porches and walls of many school buildings are still decorated with simple and solemn statues and seals, and the tall stained glass windows are like a magnificent picture. Cambridge University has more than 65,438 teachers (professors, associate professors and lecturers) and more than 65,438 visiting scholars. Cambridge University has 1807 1 full-time students, including 5969 graduate students, 70% of whom are from other universities, 38% are foreign students from outside the EU, and 46.7% of all students are girls. The total number of international students of all majors and grades in the school is about 660 in the United States, followed by about 600 in China (most of them are one-year graduate students). The president of the university is the Queen's husband, Prince Philip (the president of Oxford University is former Governor Patten), and an executive vice-president presides over the daily work. Students of Cambridge University take part in all kinds of extracurricular activities, among which boating is the most popular sport. There are frequent competitions between colleges in Cambridge University, and Cambridge University holds rowing competitions with Oxford University every year. There are various other sports competitions between universities, including rugby, cricket and chess. University of Cambridge
The university ranked 59th in the Top 500 World Brands in 2006 compiled by the World Brand Lab. In 2008-2009, the total income of Cambridge University was about US$ 65.438+US$ 85 million (excluding the income of various colleges), ranking among the top5 universities in the world and being one of the richest universities in the world. Most of the funds come from alumni and social donations, of which about 1/4 comes from the government (this data is taken from the financial report of Cambridge University in 2008-2009). James Bond, played by roger moore, graduated from Cambridge University and majored in oriental literature.
Edit the structure of this paragraph.
Cambridge University [1] is actually just a loosely organized consortium of colleges, which are highly autonomous, but all abide by the unified charter of Cambridge University, which is drafted and adopted by the university's legislature and revised every year. Cambridge University is only responsible for examinations and degree awarding, while the specific criteria for enrollment are determined by each college and are self-enrolled.
The 35 colleges in Cambridge are scattered in small towns with a population of only about 65438+ 10,000. These colleges were built in different times, with a history of 700 to 800 years at the earliest. Just like their buildings, each college has its own style and independent personality. Although universities and colleges complement each other, they are different entities and economically independent. Universities are public and funded by the state, while colleges are private and self-financing. The university is responsible for graduate students, the college is responsible for undergraduate enrollment, and the number is planned by the university. The university is responsible for all students' teaching, and the college is responsible for students' life and amateur counseling for undergraduates. At the end of each year, universities rank colleges according to their undergraduate scores and certain rules, so as to promote competition among colleges. The president of Cambridge University is elected by the academic council of the university, and is generally held by a prestigious person in the society. The post of president is symbolic, and the president rarely gets involved in university affairs. Generally, he is only responsible for awarding honorary degrees and attending various school celebrations, although he can also give advice to vice presidents and university administrators. The vice-chancellor who is really responsible for the daily affairs of the university is nominated by the University Council (Koucil) and appointed by the Segent House of Cambridge University. The vice president has several assistant vice presidents, who are responsible for specialized fields and assist the vice presidents in their daily work. Regent's Court is the highest legislative and power organ of the university, which is composed of faculty and staff of various colleges, with about 3,000 members. They can formulate or amend school rules and regulations, vote to appoint vice presidents, members of university conferences, and award degrees and honorary degrees. Decision-making can be divided into two types: the first is a relatively simple and agreed motion (such as the appointment of the president and university staff), which is generally put forward by the university conference and published in Cambridge Journal. If a certain number of members of the Regent's House do not raise objections within 10 days, it will be passed. If a complicated and important bill is put forward by someone outside the university, it will be published in the school magazine by the sponsor and then debated openly. Finally, after considering all the opinions, the proposer suggested that the Regent's Court amend the motion and publish it in the school magazine. If a certain number of members of the Regent's House do not raise objections within 10 days, it will be passed. But if a certain number of members think it is necessary, the Regent's House needs to hold a vote. The voting was conducted by mail. When the Regent's Court meets, it shall be presided over by the Dean, or in the absence of the Dean, by the Vice President, or in the absence of the Vice President, by the Dean of the College appointed by him. Now almost everything can be solved without a meeting, but it must be held four times a year in June to approve the conferment of degrees. In addition, if Cambridge University needs to award honorary degrees, the Regent's House also needs to hold a meeting to vote. The Senate of Cambridge University used to be the highest legislative body, but at present its only responsibility is to elect the president. Members of the Senate include all students or professors who have obtained a master's degree or above from Cambridge University.
The full name of the university conference is the academic conference, which is responsible for daily administrative work. The members are ***2 1, including the president (but generally absent), the vice president and the elected members of 19. 19 people include 4 representatives of college presidents, 4 representatives of professors, 8 other members from Regent Hospital and 3 representatives of students (at least 1 people are graduate students). The first three types of members are elected by the Regent's Court, and the student representatives are elected by the students.
administrative setup
Principal and vice principal
The current president of this university is the Duke of Edinburgh, and the vice president is Professor Alison Richard. The president's office is only formally established, and the vice president is the academic and administrative person in charge of the university. The internal management of the university is carried out independently by all departments of the university, and only a few external affairs are handled by representatives appointed by the central organ of the university.
Senate and Regent's House
Members of the university Senate must have a postgraduate degree or above, and are responsible for electing the president of the university and the members of the Cambridge University constituency in the British House of Commons until 1950. Before 1926, the Senate was the administrative department of the university, performing the duties of the current Regent's Court. Regent's Court is the administrative department of the university, and its members include the president, senior housekeeper, deputy senior housekeeper, university representatives and senior members from universities and colleges.
Parliament and Council
University Council is the institution that formulates and implements university policies. It regularly reports to the Regent's Court and supervises and checks the rights and functions of the Regent's Court. The university Council has the right to report to the Council the issues of general concern to the university and publish them through the official magazine of the university. Since June 5438+ 10, 2005, there have been two off-campus members in the University Council. In March 2008, the Regent's Court voted to increase the number of off-campus members to four, which was approved by the Queen in July 2008. The university Council is responsible for the academic and teaching work of the university, and the parliament is responsible for management. The Council also manages the councils of different departments of the university. In this way, different departments of the university are managed and supervised by the central administrative agency.
department
Cambridge University has more than 150 departments and research institutions. Faculty members are usually members of one or more colleges and are usually responsible for academic and research work in universities. Departments and research institutions in universities are divided into six departments, and each department is composed of many departments and research institutions. A parliament is responsible for supervising the teaching and research work of different institutions. The six main departments of Cambridge University are: art and humanities (including veterinary medicine), clinical medicine, humanities and social sciences, physical science and technology. In addition, some institutions of Cambridge University are also responsible for university teaching and research, including Cambridge University Examination Committee, Cambridge University Press and University Library.
course
Generally speaking, the educational system in Britain is shorter than that in the United States. Undergraduate students in Cambridge University [1] usually spend three to four years. You can get a bachelor's degree after three years; Four years later, I will get a master's degree. If you work after getting a bachelor's degree in three years, you can also enjoy the scenery of Cambridge in one year.
Then hand in your thesis and apply for a master's degree directly. So strictly speaking, Cambridge University does not have a real master's degree, and the master's degree is just a transition. The associate doctor is a slightly distinctive degree from Cambridge and Oxford. Due to different majors, it usually lasts for two years, one year of teaching and one year of thesis. If the course (usually four courses) scores more than 65 points, you can directly transfer to a doctoral degree, and you can get a doctoral degree after two years of study. There are three differences between an associate doctor and a master's degree: first, one or two years for an associate doctor can be counted as the time to get a doctor's degree, while it takes at least three years to study directly from a master's degree; Secondly, if your final grade is above 65, the school can provide you with opening hours. Within the effective time (for example, two years), you can go to school at any time and continue your doctoral studies. Thirdly, Cambridge stipulates that if you get an associate doctor's degree and have worked for a certain number of years, you can also directly submit a thesis applying for a doctoral degree. According to the quality of your thesis and your work performance, the school can award you a doctorate, but the master does not have this honor. But it is not easy to get a doctorate in this way.
