Oxford University invites applications for the Standard Bank Africa Chairman’s Scholarships in the UK for the 2023/24 academic year.
Oxford is a truly international university as is reflected in the fact that more than half of its graduate students come from outside the UK. Together, they represent over 160 different countries and territories. It is interesting to note that there is no ‘Oxford type’ as its students come from all kinds of backgrounds, and all bring something unique. That’s why it aims to make Oxford a welcoming environment in which all of its students can thrive and reach their full potential.
