Oxford's Economic Impact

 

 

A study carried out by London Economics – The Economic Impact of the University of Oxford – measured the University’s impact on the UK economy in 2018/19. It considers the impact of a range of University activities, including:

• The University’s research and knowledge transfer activities (£7.9 billion).
• The value of the University’s teaching and learning activities (£422 million).
• The impact of the University’s educational exports (£732 million)
  the impact generated by the spending of the University and its colleges (£6 billion).
• The impact generated by the University’s contribution to tourism (£611 million).

The report found that every £1 invested in University of Oxford research and knowledge exchange activities generated £10.30 to the wider UK economy.

The total impact in regions outside the South East was over £4 billion (38%), with impacts in excess of £100 million occurring in each region outside of the South East.
