Its findings were published two weeks after universities were accused of using foreign students as “cash cows” by charging them as much as £35,000 a year for a degree. British students are currently charged a maximum of £9,000.
As many as 300 associate students are admitted to Oxford each year, usually through a third-party organisation which then makes a payment to the college.
The Washington International Studies Council (WISC), which claims to be the largest overseas study programme at Oxford, charges $20,900 (£13,430) for a 13-week term.
About £4,000 of that total is paid to the Oxford college, and students can attend for up to a year. WISC offers the candidates, who are mostly American students, entry to Trinity College, Christ Church, New College and Magdalen.
Associate students do not have to demonstrate academic standards as high as students admitted through the standard intake.
The website states that the students are degree candidates of their home college and not of Oxford.
However, it says the students are “taught the same way and to the same standard by Oxford tutors”.
The students can refer to being educated at Oxford on their CVs.
In a report published recently by the central university, senior Oxford figures said they feared it would be “difficult for the uninformed reader to detect … that there is any significant difference in the experience of its students coming to Oxford for a limited period time from that of a full-time matriculated undergraduate”.
