There is evidence of teaching as early as 1096, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world&#8217;s second-oldest university in continuous operation.<\/p>\n<p>The university grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris. After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled north-east to Cambridge where they established what became the University of Cambridge. The two &#8220;ancient universities&#8221; are frequently jointly referred to as &#8220;Oxbridge&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford is organized into a variety of academic divisions which are responsible for postgraduate and undergraduate teaching. The university does not have a main campus, but rather many buildings and facilities scattered throughout the city centre. Oxford is governed by a central administration and by self-governing colleges. The university is a member of the Coimbra Group, the League of European Research Universities, and the Russell Group.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford has educated many notable alumni, including 28 British prime ministers and many heads of state and government around the world. As of October 2020, it had 28 Nobel laureates, 3 Fields Medalists, and 6 Turing Award winners among its former students and staff. It is also the alma mater of 72 living billionaires, <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> the most of any university.<\/p>\n<p>The university is a major tourist attraction, with over 10 million visitors annually.
