Not sure where the evidence is for OTOH: What's the comparitor? Is it "being harder" just because it's worse taught? Ultimately - what are we looking for in recruitment? The "Oxbridge or bust" culture in the UK is damaging.
The primary difficulty is a result of how marks and grades are assigned. (The workload is higher as well). Oxbridge degrees are graded using a non-linear function on a normal distribution. I.e some programmes require you to be in the top 60% to get a 2(I).
You’re also right that in oxbridge teaching isn’t great, there’s no support, there’s a lot of racism and BME/working-class students disproportionately underperform.
I don't believe that by default "Oxbridge degrees are harder" is a fair statement, nor useful & I think it plays into the narrative of an elite system, which is perpetuated by the Oxbridge, and more broadly, Russel group, clubs. I suspect it also furthers racism in our sector.
