EnglishWhat Is Oxford University Press and What Can You Find on corp.oup.com?
Updated
Oxford University Press (OUP) is a publisher that describes its mission as moving knowledge and learning forward. Its corporate site, corp.oup.com, is the top-level entry point to OUP's products, services, and editorial thinking across education, English language teaching, and academic research. Use the site when you want to understand what OUP publishes, browse its main portfolios, or read short articles and reports on education and research topics. It is an overview and discovery site, not a storefront: the homepage presents highlights and links onward to dedicated product sites rather than listing prices or checkout options.
What OUP presents itself as
The homepage frames OUP around three connected activities: publishing educational materials, teaching English, and supporting scholarly research. The recurring phrase "moves knowledge and learning forward" signals that the site is aimed at a broad audience — teachers, students, researchers, and institutions — rather than a single customer type. Content is in British English (en-GB).
The three portfolio areas
The "Explore our Portfolio" section highlights three categories, each with a representative product:
| Area | Example highlighted | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Education | Oxford Revise | Revision guides intended to move students "from exam panic to exam ready" |
| English Language | English File fifth edition | A ready-to-go English course designed to engage and motivate students |
| Academic | Oxford Academic | A gateway to scholarly literature and research |
Each entry links to a "Discover more" page, so the homepage works as a signpost rather than a catalogue.
Latest Thinking and reports
A "Latest Thinking" feed collects short articles across subjects, typically 2–4 minute reads. Examples visible on the page include:
- Academic Research — "The cost of knowledge: building a research ecosystem that serves the public good" (20 October 2026)
- Academic Research — "First Book Prize 2026 winners announced" (14 October 2026)
- Sustainability — "Transitioning to a long-term sustainability strategy" (28 September 2026)
- Assessment / Education Partnerships — "Reflecting on OxfordAQA's summer exam series" (25 September 2026)
- AI / Education Research — "Digital learning: insights from the classroom" (24 September 2026)
- Academic Language and Literacy — "New to the Oxford English Dictionary this September" (23 September 2026)
The digital learning report is presented as new research on how teachers and students adopt digital tools, with the explicit argument that "the future of learning is not a matter of digital versus analogue."
Free resources and other features
The "Popular Resources" block describes free materials to explore and share, including:
- A new report on navigating AI in education, covering pupils' perspectives on AI in the classroom
- Journal insights and publishing tips — blog posts, free articles, and chapters about the academic publishing process
- A podcast, "Talking ELT"
The page also carries a Word of the Day feature (the example shown is maqam, a melodic mode in Persian, Arabic, and Turkish music) and a link to Oxford Academic for research needs.
How to use the site
- To understand OUP's scope — start with "Explore our Portfolio" and follow the Education, English Language, or Academic link that matches your role.

Note that the homepage does not display pricing, subscription terms, or login requirements for individual products; those details would sit on the linked product sites. Treat corp.oup.com as the map, and the linked destinations as the places where specific access conditions are set.
