Read, learn and live in the "City of Dreaming Spires."

The Oxford Summer Programme (OSP) allows you, as an affiliate member of Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, to do intensive scholarship in this historic seat of learning. Work with world-class academics to hone your skills and delve into the areas that interest you most while you explore the relationship between Christianity and the development of the British Isles and the relationship between a variety of academic disciplines. Seminars are given on specialized topics under expert Oxford academics in the areas of history, religious studies, philosophy, English, literature, history of art and history of science. The programme is structured for rising college sophomores, juniors, and seniors, graduate and seminary students, non-traditional students, teachers and those enrolled in continuing education programs.
