Please note that following an AfD nomination on Oxbridge the offending material there, which prompted that nomination, was aggressively trimmed as an outcome of consensus achieved during the debate. This content is more appropriate for this article here, Oxbridge rivalry provided it meets the content policies including WP:V, and is properly sourced. I'm about to read and tag the article but please note that until consensus changes the subject matter of this article should probably remain separate from that in Oxbridge.

Joint honours[edit]

I have removed a paragraph which said that Cambridge, unlike Oxford, does not offer Joint Honours degrees, which it defined as "degrees that allow students to specialise in more than one subject". While Cambridge University does not use the expression "Joint Honours", it certainly does give degrees in which a combination of subjects are studied, in a number of ways. For example it is possible to take part of a tripos in one subject and part of one in another subject. Also, there are various triposes which allow students to take elements of other subjects: for example in the mathematics tripos it is possible to take an option "maths with physics". Thus the statement in the article, which gave the impression that it is not possible to study more than one subject, was misleading. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quote[edit]

Given that the philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell studied at Cambridge, Cambridge's F R leavis contributed to literary theory, and arguably more of the great Oxbridge poets studied at Cambridge (although arguably more of the great Oxbridge authors studied at Oxford), is it best to perpetuate the idea to a general reader that Oxford is necessarily the more important university of the two for philosophy and literature, which is debatable?
