Which Countries Get the Most Students into Oxford?

Each year, Oxford receives applications from students from all over the world. However, disproportionately high numbers of applications come from certain countries, while others are barely represented.

It is unsurprising that the UK tops both lists as Oxford is a British institution. However, it is interesting to see which other countries feature in the tables, with most students who aren't British coming from East, South-East, and East Asia, North America, and Western Europe.

If you see the country you're from on one of these tables, great! If you get into Oxford, you'll find many other students from your home country. And if you don't see your country on one of these tables, then you have the opportunity to lead the way!
