User:Gaia Octavia Agrippa/sandbox/Oxbridge academic ranks

The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are two collegiate universities in the United Kingdom. Due to this collegiate system, the historic nature of the universities and colleges, and the separation of teaching between university department and colleges, the academic ranks of these two universities are different to other universities in the UK.
