Ah, bgreenboxb, that's what they want you think. That's the whole marketing thing. Except it doesn't quite work like that. Going to Oxford or Cambridge universities will give you an advantage particularly as there is a long standing tradition there of Oxbridge graduates being favoured by many institutions.

FTOs would have you believe they are the equivalent of these universities. You would do well to bear in mind that that OAA only has Oxford in their title because they were set up at Oxford airport. They are not an offshoot of Oxford university. They are a good school and have a good name. But you pay for that good name. It might give you an advantage when you apply for a job. But it probably counts for less than you might think.
