UVU-Oxford study Abroad 2023
We are looking forward to welcoming the 2023 cohort of UVU students for their study abroad experience.
During the summer schools, students are taught in small groups and Oxford-style tutorials. They live in undergraduate bedrooms in the historic surroundings of Pembroke College, in the heart of Oxford. During private study time, they can take inspiration from the celebrated surroundings of the Bodleian Library. The programme office on site is even located in J.R.R. Tolkien’s old rooms.
