Oxford and China
The Selden Map, a map of showing shipping routes between China and Southeast Asia dating back to the late Ming dynasty, bequeathed to the Bodleian Libraries since 1659.
As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. The University’s relationship with China dates from the 17th century and continues to flourish today in world-leading collaborations. Today, students from China, including Hong Kong, make up one of the biggest international student communities at Oxford and there are more than 3000 Oxford alumni in China. IN addition, there are nearly 152 Chinese academics at Oxford, one of the largest contingents from any country.
Oxford University is now a world-leading centre for scholarship on China. The University of Oxford China Centre connects the Oxford academics doing research on China across a variety of disciplines and one of the University’s most ambitious fundraising campaigns to establish a permanent home for the centre is close to fruition. Oxford scientists also collaborate extensively with their Chinese counterparts on joint research, with the largest-scale projects in the medical field led by Oxford’s Clinical Trial Service Unit, which has a dedicated China Programme which includes the China Oxford Centre for International Health Research. Read the profiles of some of Oxford's China academics.
In China, Oxford University has a permanent presence through the following wholly-owned subsidiary companies:
University of Oxford China Office (Hong Kong)
Oxford University Press (China)
