Oxford University admits more women than men for first time – Ucas

Richard Adams:

The University of Oxford offered more undergraduate places to British women than men last year for the first time in its more than 1,000-year history.

Of the total figure, female sixth-formers also outnumbered their male peers, according to data published from Ucas, the university and college admissions body.

A total of 1,070 18-year-old female UK applicants to Oxford took places on undergraduate course in autumn 2017, compared with 1,025 men of the same age. Women won more offers and places after applying in record numbers.
