The University of Oxford is a collegiate research university in Oxford, England. There is evidence of teaching there as early as 1096, which makes it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the second-oldest in continuous operation in the world. It grew rapidly from 1167, when Henry II prohibited English students from attending the University of Paris. It is made up of forty-three colleges and a range of academic departments organised into four divisions, and colleges control their own membership. Together with Cambridge it is called Oxbridge.
