The Oxford Experience
If you miss learning beneath Duke’s neo-Gothic spires, you’ll love our annual two-week experience at the University of Oxford. Enrich your mind as you explore the great works of literature, history and the humanities with Oxford tutors in the cradle of higher education.
September 4 - 17, 2022
The Oxford Experience is your opportunity to study at the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Founded in the ninth century and known for its academic excellence, extraordinary art and architecture, and numerous cultural offerings, Oxford is one of the world’s foremost centers of thought and enlightenment. In our two-week program, participants enroll in one of four noncredit enrichment courses led by Oxford tutors.

Participant Physical Requirements
Please note that this program will be challenging for anyone who has difficulty with walking or other mobility issues. Field trips and excursions often require up to one mile or more of walking including uphill terrain, stairways, and uneven ground. The age and layout of many buildings at Oxford can make them arduous to traverse as well.
Our aim is to treat all participants equally and to keep our touring group together and safe while enjoying the program. Prospective participants with mobility difficulties, visual or hearing impairments, or other health concerns should make preliminary inquiries before signing up for this program.
Duke and/or UNC’s alumni office reserves the right to decline to accept or dismiss any person from the program should such person’s physical or mental condition, action, or attitude impedes the operation of the program or the rights, welfare, or enjoyment of other participants.
