Overview

St. Peter's College is part of the The University of Oxford system.  It is located in the city of Oxford, which is about 60 miles west (and a bit north) of London and has a population of approximately 160,000. The University of Oxford consists of 38 independent, self-governing colleges.

The St. Peter’s College Summer School Programme normally run for five weeks from July to August and is designed to offer students from North America (and elsewhere) direct experience of Oxford’s traditional approach to university education. The University of Oxford does not hold regular summer classes for its degree seeking students, so that students who participate in this program will not be taking classes along with other Oxford students.  However, the academic courses, designed and taught by Fellows and Lecturers of the College and the wider university with overseas students in mind, have a British and European focus.

Courses and Credits

University of Michigan students apply for one of three components: Environmental Studies, Medieval Studies, or English Literature. Each component has several options from which students choose. Please see the St. Peter's Summer School Programme website (listed below under *Additional Resources* for more information on the tutorial system, the academic experience and the different components and their options.

Please note: The 4-day field excursion is required for all U-M students, whether in the Environmental Studies, Medieval Studies, or Literature components. Students in the Environmental Studies course will receive 2 credits for this excursion. Students in the Medieval or Literature components have the option of completing 2 credits for the excursion, but are not required to do so.
