　　牛津教学的最大特点是“导师制”。学生的导师由研究人员担任，他们多为品学俱佳的学者，在一定的领域卓有建树。导师制要求学生每周与导师见一次面，将自己一周内研究和撰写的论文向导师宣读。此外，还有许多讲座。每个讲座不论是导师还是学生，不论是高年级还是低年级，都可以自由发言，平等讨论，但在议论之后，要交作业。与导师单独见面，宣读一周内研究和撰写的论文时，导师要评论，要提问，如果论文质量不行，答辩不好，要影响成绩、影响毕业。一周一次，周复一周。

　　The University of Oxford is a university located in Oxford in the United Kingdom. It is the oldest university of all those in countries where English is the people‘s first language.

　　The university consists of 38 colleges and another 6 “private halls”. All of these colleges have their own buildings and their own staff, making Oxford quite different from most modern universities where all the students live on a “campus”. Oxford does not have a campus, although it does have some central places where students from different colleges can come together either to study (for example, libraries) or to enjoy themselves (for example, the Oxford Union).

　　History(历史)：

　　Many people who study history think that there was a university in Oxford in the 11th century, and the University of Oxford grew bigger in 1167, after English students studying in Paris, France were not allowed to continue studying after the murder of St Thomas Becket by King Henry II of England. There were fights between the students in Oxford and the people who lived there in the early 13th century. Some students and teachers left the university in 1209, and made a new university in Cambridge. These two universities are now great rivals, and together are sometimes known as “Oxbridge”.

　　Until 1920, women were not allowed to take degrees at Oxford, although some women studied at Oxford before that time. Nowadays all the colleges allow both men and women as students, and the number of male and female students is roughly equal.

　　One of the most famous professors at university was Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, nonsense stories for children.

　　Colleges and Halls（学院）：

　　There are 38 colleges at Oxford and 6 ’permanent private halls‘.

　　A college will normally offer the students accommodation (a room to sleep and study in) for the first and last years of their time at University. Many also offer accommodation for other years. A college will also have space for teaching and socializing. When most of the older colleges started they were only for people of one sex, but St Hilda’s College, the last college to allow only women to study there, recently allowed men as well.

　　A permanent private hall is slightly different to a college. They were normally started by religious groups to educate their members in philosophy and theology, but some have since grown and offer a broader range of subjects. Some halls are run by monks and will only accept male students.

　　Most colleges will teach at both undergraduate (the more basic first degree that a student takes) and postgraduate (a higher level of study) level. There are also some special colleges who are more restrictive. Five college only offer space to postgraduate students. Harris Manchester college is only for ‘Mature Students’ (those who are over 21 when they start their degree). All Souls college does not take students - all of its members teach students or do research.
