University of Oxford

My experience thus far studying French and Beginner's Russian has proved to be very stimulating and enjoyable. Having being submerged into the trials of learning Russian from scratch whilst wrestling with Medieval French literature I have found the wonderful architecture and beautiful scenery of Oxford to really compliment my university experience. The warm community spirit entrenched within the Queen's college culture also has helped me really embrace my first year studying at Oxford University.

The course offers a good degree of flexibility, with some compulsory modules in translation and composition. The teaching quality is excellent and the campus facilities are good, if quite old-fashioned. 
The major downside is the Year Abroad, where students are given very little meaningful help and support and essentially left to fend for themselves for a year. Unlike other universities, Erasmus exchanges are not really encouraged, even though this would have been a good option for many students.

The education at the University of Oxford corresponds to its level of international esteem to a considerable extent, and this materialises particularly in the heavy workload and rapid succession of content. Its adherence to tradition, both academically and culturally, provides a unique university experience and facilitates the transition between school and the working world.
