Sarah Lawrence in Oxford

Oxford, United Kingdom

Thanks to partnerships with Sarah Lawrence and Wadham College, Reed can provide its students the opportunity to spend year at Oxford University studying under leading academics through its renowned tutorial system. This unique pedagogical approach allows students to pursue personal academic interests, working one-on-one with expert professors. The Sarah Lawrence program is limited to 30 students annually, and grants its accepted applicants direct matriculation into Oxford as registered visiting students. Students will take two tutorial courses in addition to Sarah Lawrence's Core Programme, which connects visiting students with lectures, cultural events, and field trips around England.

All students will live in flats through Wadham housing, and will have private rooms with communal common areas. One meal per week is included in the program fees, so students should expect to cook or find their own meals. Upon arrival, students will undergo a 10-day orientation welcome-period, allowing time to settle in, and opportunities to learn about the numerous clubs and social groups that the Oxford social scene has to offer. This program is highly valuable in its flexibility and its specificity. It is a great way for students to spend a year developing an academic specialty in one of the most widely renowned universities in the world.

Students must have a 3.7 GPA or higher to qualify for this program.
