Extended data:

There are 38 colleges in Oxford, and their relationship with schools is in the form of federalism, just like the relationship between the central government and local governments in the United States. Each college is managed by a dean and several researchers, who are experts in various academic fields, and most of them have positions in the school.

Six quasi-colleges (called "permanent private colleges" run by various religious factions) still retain their religious charters.

In addition, there is a continuing education college. Among the 35 colleges, Wanling College has no students, only academicians (including visiting academicians). Each college has a different size, but all colleges have less than 500 students. Students and teachers (academicians) come from different professional disciplines.

Oxford's college system was formed when the university was born, and gradually became a collection of independent institutions in Oxford.

Like most other universities, Oxford University is divided into different departments according to their majors. Departments usually play a major role in postgraduate teaching, providing lectures, courses and organizing examinations. Departments are also usually research centers funded by external institutions, including large research committees.

In addition to colleges, the teaching and research activities of Oxford University (especially the latter) are mainly organized by departments, which are not autonomous units within the university. They are all inter-school institutions and are not affiliated to any college. However, teachers and students in each department must first be members of Oxford University College.

As of May 20 17, Oxford University has four departments, namely humanities, social sciences, mathematics, physics and life sciences, and medical sciences, with independent centers and research institutes.
