Two people in traditional attire stand beside a horse under a tree. The scene is depicted in an East Asian style painting. One person holds a stick while the other is near the horse, which has a blue harness.

新年快乐，马年吉祥 - Happy Lunar New Year, wishing you an auspicious Year of the Horse! 🐴

We're thrilled that National Student Survey (NSS) results for 2025 have been released & that this year's graduates have once again rated Oxford’s libraries (the Bodleian & college libraries) as the top-rated university library with 97.4% satisfaction!
