University of Oxford undergraduate admissions statistics : ウィキペディア英語版 | University of Oxford undergraduate admissions statistics
Between 1990 and 2010, the number of undergraduate applicants to the University of Oxford increased by 76% from 9,742 to 17,144.〔(University of Oxford Statistical Information )〕 In the face of this increase, over the same period the university has continued to accept roughly 3,200 undergraduates. As a result, whereas approximately one in three applicants were successful in 1991, under one in five candidates were offered a place at Oxford in 2010. One key factor behind these changes has been the progressive internationalisation of the undergraduate student body resulting from the growth in numbers of applicants from outside of the UK. In 1990 those domiciled outside the UK made up around seven percent of applications and three percent of acceptances; two decades later, the equivalent figures were 28.1 and 15.5. As epitomised by the Laura Spence Affair, the admissions policies of the University of Oxford and its constituent colleges have over the years been frequently criticized for a number of different reasons, including the overrepresentation of students educated at fee-paying private schools and the underrepresentation of students from minority ethnicity groups. The tables below contain information on the numbers of individuals applying to and being accepted by the University of Oxford categorised by type of post-primary school, “region of domicile” and “ethnic origin”. All of the data contained in these tables pertaining to the University of Oxford are provided free and online by the university itself.〔 These data are published in a portable document format, which falls short of the draft “Public Data Principles” set out by the UK Government’s Transparency Board.〔(UK Government Transparency Board draft Public Data Principles. )〕 ==Maintained sector== Below are statistics for the maintained sector’s share of the pool of total applications and acceptances to the University of Oxford between 1990 and 2010 (excluding 2003 for which the data have been incorrectly entered in the admissions publication issued by the university). The overwhelming majority of UK university applicants come from the non-independent or maintained sector.〔(Universities & Colleges Admissions Service educational background data. )〕 According to the Independent Schools Council, around 6.5% of children in the UK or just over 18% of pupils aged 16 and over attend fee-paying schools.〔(ISC Pupil Numbers - 2010 ISC Census. )〕 In contrast to the non-private school educational profile of the overall population, the majority of applications to and acceptances by the University of Oxford come from independent schools. The underrepresentation of pupils from the non-independent sector flies in the face of the university’s own target of having 62% of offers going to applicants from state schools, which is laid down in the university’s access agreement with the Office for Fair Access.〔(House of Commons Library briefing paper on Oxbridge ‘elitism’. )〕
