Oxford University Degrees

Oxford University offers a range of degree subjects, which you study as single honour (meaning just that subject) or joint honours (meaning two or more subjects in combination). Oxford offers a wide range of joint courses, giving students the chance to explore different subjects and examine the connections between them. This will often reveal insights not necessarily found by studying them individually.

There tend to be fewer places on Oxford’s joint courses, but this is not always the case. A few subjects are only available as part of a joint course, for example Philosophy or Economics. All of the major popular fields of study are taught including Languages and Literature, Mathematics, Sciences, Law, Philosophy, Economics, and Medicine.

You can find a full list of available degree courses here and listed below alphabetically. It is worth checking that your chosen college offers your chosen degree course, as some of the smaller subjects are only taught at certain colleges.

Graduate Schools at Oxford University

Oxford also offers a wide range of graduate courses from postgraduate certificates to doctorates. These are challenging and intensive, as Oxford’s approach to graduate study emphasises your ability to work independently, while being supported by a world-class academic community.

The University of Oxford has four academic divisions, made up of individual departments, faculties or other centres, and a Department for Continuing Education, which offers courses across a range of subject areas. These are: 

Humanities Division

Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division

Medical Sciences Division

Social Sciences Division

Special Programs and Fellowships

Oxford has a wealth of special programs and exchange fellowships with other universities. You will find the details for all of these on the website of your chosen course or department. There are also a number of undergraduate scholarships available which you can read about here.
