Oxford is a university city in south central England. With a population of approximately 155,000, it is the 52nd largest city in the United Kingdom, with one of the fastest growing populations in the UK, and it remains the most ethnically diverse area in Oxfordshire county.
The city is known worldwide as the home of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world.
