Overall Rating
Good
The University is not a campus University and there are lots of different buildings. It is just not possible to give one rating to all the buildings and access varies. You should check the University's Access Guide at https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/access/ and if you are a prospective student, you should contact the Disability Advisory Service at https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/welfare/disability?wssl=1. Work to make sites more accessible is always ongoing.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
This varies, depending on the building and where they are with building work, which is always ongoing. For example, Christchurch have a lift so you can see the Food Hall where Harry Potter was filmed but there are some old streets with cobbles and narrow pavements around Oxford. These can be avoided if you know where they are.
Parking & Transport
Average
For parking, check the Council website at https://www.oxford.gov.uk/info/20043/disability_and_accessibility. There's not much at some University buildings but blue badge holders can park in residents only bays as well as disabled bays on the roads.
Accessible Toilets
Good
This varies but most colleges and depts have an accessible loo now.
Staff
Excellent
Really helpful and friendly.
Additional Information
Look at the Access Guide and contact the college/dept before you visit.
