變更

另見：{{link-en|牛津大學學術禮服|Academic dress of the University of Oxford}}

在牛津，每當參與考試、接受入學測試、紀律聆訊及會見大學官員時，均需穿戴[[學術禮服]]。一項於2008年、有4,382人參與的公投顯示，81%的牛津學生反對將穿戴考試禮服的硬性規定改為自願性質。<ref>{{en}}{{cite web|author=Patrick Foster|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article737217.ece|title=21st-century students vote to keep Oxford tradition|publisher=''[[The Times]]''|date=2006-03-04}}</ref>可是，學生表示，此投票的主題似乎是“應否在默認的情況下放棄穿戴禮服的傳統”，而非“是否應將其改為自願性質”，因為此調查假設一旦有小部分人選擇不穿戴，其他人也會陸續跟隨。2012年7月，校方改善有關禮服的規條，更為包容[[跨性別]]人士。<ref>{{en}}{{cite web|url=http://www.govtoday.co.uk/education/40-higher-education/12099-support-for-transgender-students-taking-oxford-university-exams|title=Support for transgender students taking Oxford University exams|accessdate=2012-07-29|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910005933/http://www.govtoday.co.uk/education/40-higher-education/12099-support-for-transgender-students-taking-oxford-university-exams|archivedate=2012-09-10|deadurl=yes}}</ref> 此外，不同的書院亦有自己的傳統及禮節，例如某些書院會定期舉行需穿戴禮服的聚餐。

此校培養了26位[[英國首相]]，其中幾乎所有[[二戰]]後當選的首相均畢業於牛津。<ref name=ebp>{{en}}{{Cite report |date=May 2010 |title=The Educational Backgrounds of Members of Parliament in 2010 |url=http://www.suttontrust.com/public/documents/2MPs_educational_backgrounds_2010_A.pdf |publisher=The Sutton Trust |page=2 |accessdate=2014-06-12 |quote=Oxford has produced 102 MPs serving in the 2010
