Want to study at one half of ‘Oxbridge’ but not sure how to choose? Get an overview of how the two compare in university rankings to help you decide whether Oxford or Cambridge is best for you.
The two halves of Oxbridge do share many elements in common. Both are made up of residential colleges, both use tutorial (or supervision) teaching systems, and of course both are steeped in centuries of traditions, stories and stereotypes.
Choosing whether to apply to Oxford or Cambridge is likely to be tricky – but applicants do have to choose just one; the UK’s Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) only allows students to apply to one or the other.

What do the students say… |
Jinho Clement, which represents international students at Cambridge: “Ultimately the question is about where you think you will get a more enriching experience. This will depend highly on the individual, but some factors worth considering are how a particular course is structured/taught, college life, sports/societies, and proportion of students from your home country.” |
David J. Townsend, president of Oxford’s student union: “They're both great universities and you should decide based on the quality of the particular course for which you're applying. The rivalry is just a bit of a running joke, like two brothers competing amongst each other to see who can kick the ball further... (But Oxford is the older brother, and therefore is the boss!)” |
