UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD – OXFORD, ENGLAND, U.K.
Evidence suggests that teaching at Oxford University can be dated back to around 1096. Some of the school's more high-profile former students have been current British prime minister David Cameron, former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher, former U.S. president Bill Clinton, acclaimed physicist Stephen Hawking, inventor of the internet Tim Berners-Lee, astronomer Edwin Hubble, and writers Aldous Huxley, Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and J. R. R. Tolkien – the latter of whom also taught at the school for over three decades – among many others. Oxford is made up of 38 constituent colleges and has excelled in various fields. Politics and religion are both prominent at the university; so far, 26 British prime ministers, 20 Archbishops of Canterbury and 12 saints have studied there. Other noteworthy areas of learning associated with the university include science, mathematics, literature, philosophy and economics. Oxford also offers the Clarendon Scholarship and the Rhodes Scholarship, two of the world's preeminent graduate scholarships.
