Undergraduate Courses
We offer a wide range of undergraduate courses, including some Joint Schools. Discover more about our courses below including the structure of the course, our Fellows and tutors, and our entry requirements.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of the cells, systems, and molecules that underpin all of life on Earth. Topics range from the origins of life and the nature of disease, to the development of individual organisms.
Biomedical Sciences
Biomedical science focuses on how cells, organs and systems function in the human body; an exciting and dynamic area that is highly relevant to the understanding and treatment of human diseases.
Chemistry
Chemistry is a wide-ranging science concerned with matter at the atomic and molecular scale. Important aspects are synthesis, structure, reaction mechanisms, properties, analysis and transformations of all types of materials.
Classical Archaeology and Ancient History
The course combines study of the history, archaeology and art of the classical world. It looks at the societies and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean through written texts, visual art, and material remains.
Engineering Science
Engineering Science encompasses a vast range of subjects; from microelectronics to renewable energy generation. It involves the application of creative reasoning, science, mathematics (and of course experience and common sense) to real problems.
English Language and Literature
The English Language and Literature course at Oxford is one of the broadest in the country, giving you the chance to study writing in English from its origins in early medieval England to the present.
History & Joint Schools
The History course at Oxford is incredibly broad: you can study any part of British and European history from the declining years of the Roman Empire to the present day.
History of Art
History of Art aims to arrive at a historical understanding of the origins, meaning and purpose of art and artefacts from a wide range of world cultures.
Jurisprudence (Law)
Studying Law will not only give you the opportunity to qualify as a solicitor or barrister; it will also help you develop a diverse set of skills which you will be able to apply in many different careers.
Mathematics
In Applied Mathematics we use mathematics to explain phenomena that occur in the real world. You can learn how a leopard gets its spots, explore quantum theory and relativity, or study the mathematics of stock markets.
Medicine
Medicine at Oxford is made up of a three-year pre-clinical course that focuses on the fundamental science that underpins medicine, and includes studying towards a BA Honours degree in Medical Sciences, followed by three years of clinical study.
Modern Languages & Joint Schools
Studying Modern Languages provides both practical training in written and spoken language, and an extensive introduction to literature and thought written in European languages.
Music
The Music course is broadly based but allows increasing specialisation and choice as you proceed. Whether you’re a performer, a composer, a budding scholar of psychology, history, sociology or education, the Music course offers something for you.
Philosophy, Politics and Economics
PPE was born of the conviction that study of the great modern works of economic, social, political and philosophical thought would have a transformative effect on students’ intellectual lives, and thereby on society at large.
Physics
Physics is concerned with the study of the universe from the smallest to the largest scale: it is about unravelling its complexities to discover the way it is and how it works.
