Program Description:

Study abroad at Oxford

By studying abroad at Oxford through IFSA, you will be a visiting student at a specific college (see the approved list below) and will focus your studies on your major and minor subjects. Most tutorials will be one-on-one or small group meetings between students and tutors, though some science subjects have lectures as well.

Tutorial System
The hallmark of the University of Oxford academics is the tutorial system. The tutorial is typically a one-hour meeting between one or two students and the tutor. Tutorials usually meet once a week or every other week, and at the center of the tutorial is an essay on a topic the tutor previously assigned. The tutor will lead a discussion about the essay topic in an effort to provide new insights. At the end of the tutorial, the tutor will assign a new topic and may offer recommended reading. Tutorials are individually arranged, taking into account the subject to be studied and the tutor's area of expertise. They are similar to independent study courses, but Oxford students bear even more responsibility for conducting independent research and maintaining good academic progress. The University of Oxford organizes weekly lectures on myriad academic subjects, and all students at the University, regardless of college, are welcome to attend. Lectures are not usually mandatory except for some science subjects, but tutors often recommend them as good supplements to tutorials and research.

A note on the application timeline: This program has one deadline each year for the FULL following academic year. This means, for example, that students who want to apply to study abroad in Fall 2027, Spring 2028, or Academic Year 2027-2028 all need to complete both the UVA and the IFSA applications in December 2026. If the term you want to study abroad does not yet have the UVA application open, please reach out to Emily Graber at eg9cx@virginia.edu.
