There is no clear date of foundation but it is known that teaching at Oxford existed
in some form as early as 1096. Oxford University maintains a number of museums
and galleries. The Ashmolean Museum, founded in 1683, is the oldest museum in
the UK, and the oldest university museum in the world. It has significant on
collections of art, including works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Turner,
and Picasso. The University Museum of Natural History holds the University's
zoological, entomological and geological specimens. The Museum of the History
of Science contains 15,000 artifacts, from antiquity to the 20thin | century ,
representing almost all aspects of the history of science. In the Faculty of Music is
the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments, a collection mostly of the instruments
from Western classical music. Christ Church Picture Gallery holds a collection of
over 200 old master paintings. Oxford was ranked first in the world in the Times
Higher Education World University Rankings for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021
and 2022. There are more than 25,000 students at Oxford, including 12,510
undergraduates and 13,044 postgraduates. Entry to undergraduate courses at
Oxford continues to be very competitive: there are usually only around 3,300
places, and over 24,000 people applied to start in 2021. The majority of Oxford’s
UK undergraduates come from state schools. Over 68% of UK students admitted in
2021 were from the state sector. Oxford offers more than 350 postgraduate
programmes. For 2020/21 entry, over 34,500 applications were received for some
6,675 postgraduate places. International students make up almost 45% of our total
student body - around 11,500 students. Students come to Oxford from more than
160 countries and territories. According to the 2014 Research Excellence
Framework, the official UK-wide assessment of all university research, Oxford has
the largest volume of world-leading research in the UK. The University of Oxford
contributes around £15.7 billion to the UK economy, and supports more than
28,000 full time jobs (2018/19). By early 2022, more than 2.6 billion doses of the
Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine had been supplied to over 180 countries, with
approximately two-thirds going to low and middle-income countries.
