Many US home colleges which work with WISC have told us that they prefer this status for their own students. Although students are degree candidates of their home college and not of the University of Oxford, they are taught in the same way and to the same standard by Oxford tutors who normally teach degree candidates. Students may enrol for one term, two terms or the entire academic year.
Graduate study is available.
By prior arrangements, these students are academically supervised by their US home colleges, not by their College in Oxford. Students who have applied for credit transfer through this system have always been awarded credit toward their home college degree, only the degree awarding college can do this. These students made proper arrangements with their home college academic departments in advance and future students must do the same. Students may receive a transcript as overseas students of an accredited US College. All the added benefits of WISC are included in their programme.
