The Oxford Experience Summer School - 2 July to 5 August 2006

The Oxford Experience is a very special summer school that is run by the University of Oxford's Department of Continuing Education.

The summer school is held in Christ Church, the largest and one of the most beautiful of the Oxford colleges. Participants live in the college and meals are taken in the mediaeval college hall (this is the hall that featured in the Harry Potter films).

( You can find out more about Christ Church here.)

The Oxford Experience runs for six weeks and covers a very wide range of subjects. Each week offers a different choice of topics, and you can enrol for one or more weeks. In addition to expert tuition, the Oxford Experience offers a number of other interesting activities. For example, you can tour Oxford and the University colleges, or visit local historic stately homes, or learn to play croquet on the lawns of the Master's Garden.
