Once England’s capital, Oxford is located in the heart of England just 50 miles northwest of London. Open to all adults, participants enroll in one (of four) noncredit personal enrichment course choosing from topics such as British archaeology, art, history, theatre, or literature. A typical day’s schedule includes morning classes taught by Oxford tutors with afternoon course specific field trips or general group excursions. Group excursions may include visits to Stratford-upon-Avon, prehistoric sites, famous castles, gardens, palaces, cathedrals or abbeys, the Cotswolds, London, and other English towns. There will be ample time during the two weeks and at midprogram weekend break to enjoy breathtaking architecture, art, and gardens of many of the university’s 39 colleges, explore the historic town of Oxford, or visit the surrounding countryside. The city of Oxford offers a diversity of museums, bookshops, theaters, restaurants, pubs, shops, and natural settings to explore. Participants stay in Oxford’s Department for Continuing Education Residential Center offering comfortable bedrooms with private bathrooms, dining room, laundry facilities, common room, computer room, bar, lecture and reading rooms.
