England: Oxford - Honors Program in British Law, Politics and Society

Summer 2010 - July 3 - 24, 2010

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.
