Continuing education |
Wellington Square Oxford, Oxfordshire OX1 2JA United Kingdom +44 1865 27 0383 |
Founded in 1990, this college was named Kellogg College in 1994 in recognition of the support given to adult education in Oxford by the W K Kellogg Foundation. The college supports the continuing work of the university and provides a college base for adult and part-time students. For these students in particular, the college location near the university administrative offices in Little Clarendon Street is ideal. Visits should be made by appointment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Marking the darker side of Oxford's past |
St Giles Corner of Magdalen Street & Beaumont Street Oxford, Oxford OX1 3AE United Kingdom |
For years, students have attempted to persuade visitors to Oxford that this spire-shaped memorial at the south end of St Giles is the tip of an underground cathedral. In fact, it commemorates a sombre event: the burning at the stake of three martyrs in Oxford during the reign of Queen Mary. Bishops Latimer and Ridley were martyred in 1555 and Archbishop Cranmer in 1556. In the 19th century, a public appeal was launched, resulting in this memorial which was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built in 1843. Cranmer (holding his Bible) faces north, Latimer (with head bowed and arms crossed) faces west and Ridley faces east. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the world's leading universities |
University Offices Wellington Square Oxford, Oxfordshire OX1 2JD United Kingdom +44 1865 27 0001 http://www.ox.ac.uk/ |
Many visitors to Oxford ask for directions 'to the university' but Oxford is not a campus university and it can't be visited in that sense. The university consists of 39 completely separate, autonomous colleges, which are spread throughout the city. Students belong to and live in the colleges, which are the focus of their academic and social life. The university is responsible for centralised functions, such as the major laboratories and computing facilities. The university also sets the syllabus and the examinations for all students from every college. The buildings to be seen and visited in Oxford are both university and college buildings.
