The world’s oldest English-speaking university, founded in 1200

It’s easy to understand why a semester at the University of Oxford is a sought-after experience for many students—its academic status as one of the world’s elite universities paired with its illustrious history makes it a great program option if you thrive on the challenge of independent study. As an Arcadia student, you have full visiting student status which includes access to the world renowned Bodleian Library. You will be able to study the sciences, social sciences, or arts at one of six colleges: St. Anne’s, St. Catherine’s, St. Edmund Hall, Lady Margaret Hall, Mansfield College, or Hertford College. If you are a Junior or Senior level student and have an excellent academic background, this might be a good program for you.

I have made a lot of friends. I challenged myself both academically and personally. I also experienced a new culture and gained different perspectives. It pushed me and made me realize how much I can achieve. ”

Lawrence University Student, University of Oxford

  • You’ll benefit from Oxford’s renowned tutorial system, in which you’ll meet one-on-one or in small groups with a subject tutor, which is great preparation for graduate-level wor­k!

  • Living in Oxford, you'll be surrounded by a bustling academic and social atmosphere defined by the colleges and quads of the university. The blend of ancient clock towers with clubs and music venues, church steeples with pubs and eateries, and cloistered gardens with impressive theaters makes Oxford the quintessential college town. The quaint villages of the Cotswolds are just a short distance away, and London is an hour by train.

  • Applicants for the fall term only may be particularly interested in Hertford College, St Anne's College and Lady Margaret Hall, where they will begin their studies a month before the official term begins. At Hertford College, students enroll in a September Pre-sessional Seminar, while at Lady Margaret Hall they will begin one of their major tutorials early as part of the Extended Michaelmas Term. Students at St Anne's can enroll in a Humanities course or tutorials designed for Pre-Med students depending on their area of study.  Academic year applicants can choose to join the traditional term in the Fall, or to extend their experience in the Michaelmas Term at Hertford College, St Anne's College and Lady Margaret Hall.

  • Oxford is part of the Russell Group which represents 24 leading UK universities committed to maintaining the very best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and unrivaled links with business and the public sector.
