ACADEMIC PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:
All students are required to participate in the Lecture Series: The Christian Tradition in the British Isles and attend course-related field trips.  Students complete both a discipline seminar and a topical seminar.

 

OVERALL ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS:

All participants in the Oxford Summer Programme are required to attend the full Lecture Series: The Christian Tradition in the British Isles and all field trips.

 

Undergraduate Students:

Credit Requirements:

  • Attendance at both a topical and a discipline seminar
  • A 2,500 word essay for both the topical seminar and the discipline seminar
  • A 1,500 word essay or for both the Topical Seminar and the Discipline Seminar

Graduate Students:
We offer a graduate track in each of the topical and discipline seminars for those in seminary, master’s programmes and PhD programmes. These seminars are designed for a deeper and more complex investigation into the topic and will benefit from more focused use of materials in Oxford’s research libraries.  This track provides for weekly, private tutorials in addition to the seminar meetings (which integrates all level of students).

 

All discipline seminars will include a mix of undergraduates, graduates and non-traditional students with accelerated academic requirements for graduates. We have found that the learning environment is heightened for all participants with such a diverse mix.

  • Attendance at both a topical and a discipline seminar
  • A 5,000 word essay for both the topical seminar and discipline seminar
  • A 2,000 word essay for both the topical seminar and the discipline seminar
