England: Oxford - Honors Program in British Law, Politics and Society
June 28 - July 19, 2008
Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world, its origins going back to the eleventh century. For over eight hundred years this ancient university has been an international center of scholarship. International summer programs have been organized by the University of Oxford since the 1880s. This Maryland program, offered in conjunction with Oxford University, offers high-level courses to an informed and curious audience of graduate and undergraduate students.
The program offers an in-depth look at British law, politics, and society. During the three-week program (4 credits), students will have the opportunity for concentrated study in small seminar groups, taught by Oxford University faculty members. A general lecture series by prominent figures from the University of Oxford and elsewhere will also be offered. The program will allow students to take two course modules: one required two-credit course in “Law and Society” and one two-credit course of the student’s choosing.
