Every college has students of all kinds; it has its medical students, its engineers, its art students, etc.
The Tutorial system is one of the ways in which Oxford and Cambridge differ from all other English universities. Every student has a tutor who plans his work. Each week some students come to see him and he discusses with them the work which they have done. This system has its own advantages.
The academic year in England is divided into three terms, which usually run from about the beginning of October to the middle of December, from the middle of January to the end of March and from the middle of April to the end of June or the beginning of July.
Terminal examinations are held at the end of the autumn, spring and summer terms. Final examinations are taken at the end of the course of studies. If a student fails in an examination he may be allowed to take the exam again. Only two re-examinations are usually allowed. For a break off discipline a student can be fined a sum of money, for a serious offence he may be expelled from the university.
British universities usually keep to the customs of the past. Upon graduation at Oxford University all the students have to wear long gowns and “students’ caps”.
