Oxford
Program Summary
The city of Oxford sits at the meeting place of the Thames and Cherwell Rivers, about sixty miles northwest of London. The 39 colleges that form a core element of Oxford University dominate its lovely city center. Oxford is the oldest English-language university in the world and has been in existence for more than to 8 centuries.
A unique aspect of the Stanford in Oxford program is the tutorial requirement. All participants are expected to devote a minimum of 6 units of their coursework towards the tutorial, which provides an opportunity for focusing on a particular academic topic in a very intense, in-depth format. For more information on the tutorial, read details under the Academic Program section.
Please note: Due to a recent change by the UK Border Agency (UKBA), students participating in the Oxford program may only stay for a maximum of 2 quarters.
