Course Summary

Delivered at first year Undergraduate level, our Law course introduces law from a theory-based perspective, including jurisprudence, legal institutions, and the limits of legal recourse.

Students will explore domestic and international law, including reflecting on recent international events from different legal perspectives. This course will build foundational knowledge in criminal law, international law, humanitarian law, and other areas whilst building key skills such as negotiating and litigating. Students will have opportunities to apply their legal knowledge in practical and moot trial exercises with a global perspective, understanding how law is interpreted differently from historical and cultural contexts.

Students will get to experience life as an Oxford University student throughout their stay with us, whether they are attending guest lectures from inspiring speakers, in aspirational lecture halls and auditoriums, or graduating with a formal hall, to waking up in their University accommodation.

The Pre-University Preparation programme provides an immersive and broad University experience.
