Land of Pioneers
Oxford is the centre of pioneering initiatives in the fields of science and industry, and has in recent years produced an array of interesting social entrepreneurs !
In addition to the famous collegiate university, its sister institution Oxford Brookes University is well known for its innovative courses, and reputed to be the best new UK University.
Oxford means Business
Despite its small size, Oxford has produced significant contributions to UK industry, from the days of William Morris's Motor Company (1910) to the present day BMW Mini Plant.
The thriving business parks of Oxford are also headquarters of several prominent organisations such as OXFAM, world leading charity.
Cultural Oxford
While acknowledging cultural debts to many ancient sources around the world, it cannot be denied that the UK and Oxford especially have made special and unique contributions to international culture which we are excited to share.
Oxford as our educational heart has acquired fame, notoriety and affection over the years for a wide variety of achievements, skills and inventions ...... from marmalade and teddy bears to epic children's literature and cult comedy characters like Mr Bean.
It is a great centre for community action where nurmerous endeavours are made to draw in minority groups and create satisfying projects, eg. a classical choir in a low-income residential suburb, where members finally performed in Italy, China and before the Queen.
