[Oxford was not founded in 1096.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/5d8r64/oxford_university_was_established_c_1096_how_have/da2ph0g/)

That said, the basic curriculum for the average, bureaucracy-bound medieval university students in the 13th century consisted of the seven liberal arts, the trivium plus the quadrivium. The trivium was dialectic grammar, logic, rhetoric (essentially, ways of thinking and arguing in Latin); the quadrivium geometry, music theory, astronomy/astrology, arithmetic. Oxford also offered the three major advanced faculties for graduate students: law, theology, medicine. Another major use of medieval universities was to turn out students with a "license to teach"--essentially, educating and certifying friars (Franciscans, Dominicans, etc) to preach and teach the laity. They would generally follow their own curriculum.
