Our adult students receive temporary 'Bod Cards' and access to University libraries. This is a very rare privilege that we offer and includes access to the Duke Humphrey's Library which was built between 1450 and 1480.
Each of our residential courses is managed and taught by world-class faculty and researchers. We also offer a robust Guest Tutor programme drawing upon experts, authors, and leaders for evening discussions over dinner and drinks.
Our students live, learn and socialise in the city of Oxford. The cohort dines each evening in breathtaking dining halls, some of which date back several centuries. Every course concludes with a memorable black tie Formal Hall.
