Discover the wide range of subjects and programs available to study at Oxford university with Dukes Plus. Find your passion and how to apply today!
Oxford University is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world and offers a range of world-class degree programmes for both undergraduate and graduate students. Choosing the right course is crucial to enjoying your time at university, so make sure you really explore your options, even if you think you already know what you want to study.
Your degree course will run for three or more years, and your workload will feel much lighter if you genuinely love your course.
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.
