Further my studies

[inggestionale]

Good afternoon,

which of these sencences, if any, are correctly written,?

1) My determination to further my studies in Oxford University
2) My determination to further my studies at Oxford University

1) The determination I showed to further my studies in Oxford University
2) The determination I showed to further my studies at Oxford University

Thank you

They are not sentences as they lack a main verb and full stops.

Your question appears to be 'Do we say "at university" or "in university"?'

Use 'at' in the phrases you have quoted.

Thank you Rover and sorry for my mistake.

I also thought that "at University" was the best form, but I didn't found any result on Google thus I have some doubts.

You didn't get any results when you Googled "at university"? How odd - I just Googled it and got 3,850,000,000 results.

Could there be a slight difference in emphasis between furthering your studies "in" vs "at" where:

1. - "in" may refer to furthering studies currently in progress in Oxford whereas
2. - furthering your studies "at" Oxford could mean that you were currently studying elsewhere and would move and further your studies at Oxford

Just a thought.... I'm not sure.

I wouldn't use "in university" at all in BrE when talking about education.

Nor would I.
