Oxford University is making good progress towards its aim of admitting more state school and ethnic minority students. Figures just released by the admissions body UCAS show that in 2020 the university admitted a record number of 684 BAME students – nearly 24 per cent of the UK intake and up from 22 per cent the year before. Within that, the number of black students was 106 – up from 80 the previous year. Black students represented 3.7 per cent of the intake, up from 3.2 per cent the previous year.
The University of Oxford accepted record numbers of British students from ethnic minority backgrounds last year.
More than a fifth (23.6%) of undergraduates from the UK admitted to the institution in 2020 were from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds – compared to 22% the previous year, figures show.
The number of BAME students rose from 558 in 2019 to 684 last year, according to the admissions data.
The number of black students was 106, or 3.7%, of the intake in 2020, up from 80 students, or 3.2%, the previous year.
Early figures from Oxford for 2021 suggest offers to state school pupils are in line with last year.
Students from state schools received 68.7% of all the offers at Oxford this year, compared with 69.1% last year, according to the data.

When watched together, the two meetings run for more than three hours in length. We watched them both so you don’t have to.
The first session
The first public hearing of the inquiry into Oriel College s Cecil Rhodes statue In the first hearing on ‘Historic Environment Protection and Legislation’ the eight commissioners who make up the inquiry panel heard from Emily Gee, Regional Director, London and South East at Historic England, and Gill Butter, Conservation and Urban Design Officer for Oxford City Council. The commission asked Ms Gee whether removing a feature from a building, like the Rhodes statue, could be considered harmful enough to have its listing removed.
