The University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, is one of the premier universities worldwide. Located in the medieval city center of Oxford, England (about an hour and half northwest of London), academic teaching has taken place in this historic institution since as early as the 11th century. Comprised of 44 colleges and halls, as well as one of the oldest and largest library systems in Europe, Oxford is a world-renowned hub for intellectual pursuits and research.

U-M’s Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) offers a study abroad program for undergraduate students for the summer in conjunction with Magdalen and St. Peter's Colleges. The program is administered and directed by St. Peter's College, but students will live within the stunning Magdalen College. Earn 6–8 credits during this 5-week program in July and August, and experience Oxford’s traditional approach to university education. Academic courses are designed to provide a taste of the unique Oxford educational style of tutorials (where small groups of 1-5 students engage in in-depth discussions with faculty with relevant expertise) while still keeping overseas students in mind. Choose from 3 focus areas— Environmental Studies, Medieval Studies, or English Literature—then choose a specific concentration within each area. Students can experience High Table dinners and croquet on the lawn, tour the Bodleian Library (which has over 12 million items!), climb Magdalen Tower, stroll through Christ Church Meadow, and participate in program excursions, like a 3-day trip across the coast of Wales, to enhance their understanding of culture, politics, and geography in the UK.
