Oxford vs Cambridge modern languages
Hi!
I’m interested in studying Modern Languages and trying to understand the real differences between the Oxford and Cambridge courses. I’ve read the official websites, but I’m still not clear on how the courses actually feel — in terms of teaching style, content, flexibility, or overall vibe.

if you like literature, film and poetry, Oxford is the one for you. If you like philosophy and culture associated with a language, Cambridge is the one for you (generally speaking)
