IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD, ST. CATHERINE'S COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP
Oxford, England
WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Anchored by centuries of academic tradition, Oxford has a diverse population and a modern urban center. The medieval and Victorian “dreaming spires” of the city embody the traditions of Oxford, but hip, student-friendly entertainment also abounds. Participate in Oxford traditions such as punting (boating) on the Rivers Isis (Thames) and Cherwell. Oxford is also conveniently located for visiting some of England’s best-known destinations, including the Cotswolds, Warwick Castle, Blenheim Palace, and Stratford-upon-Avon.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The college motto Nov et Vetera—the new and the old—sums up the St. Catherine’s attitude perfectly. Founded in 1962, it is Oxford’s youngest undergraduate college, yet it more than holds its own academically, with noted programs across a variety of disciplines, from philosophy to languages, art history to math, and economics to music.
Designed by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, the college’s modern architecture reflects the college’s contemporary outlook. You can even store your bike in the historic circular shed between classes.
In addition to an incredible Oxford experience, your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities that give you deeper cultural insights, with no extra fees. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
