In the English university system there are two giants: Oxford and Cambridge. These schools have a world-wide and time-tested pedigree. Incredibly enough, the history of both of these institutions weaves back through time to the thirteenth Century when they were both founded.
They've continued to survive, thrive, and build their reputations for excellence over hundreds of years. Leading scholars, politicians, theologians and philosophers of England and the world have taken their degrees at one of these two institutions. Today the two universities, made up of a number of distinct colleges, offer degrees to some ten thousand students. While these are operational universities, they also are historical sites and can help foreign visitors and international students to gain a better understanding of the reverence paid to Oxford and Cambridge.
If you're planning on travelling to Oxford or Cambridge as a group, make sure to consider your travel options ahead of time. Individual cars, train or coach hire all are transportation solutions to getting to Oxford and Cambridge.
