Shortly after acceptance into the program, all students will be sent a course reading list. Because of the intensive nature of the course work and the limited time available, it is imperative that students read this material before arriving in Oxford. For their courses, students will be required to write one minor and one major paper on a subject related to their readings chosen in consultation with their tutor. In preparing the second of these papers, they will have access to the vast resources of the Bodleian Library. Grades will be based on these papers and on vigorous class participation.
Students are to enroll in one of the classes described on the following pages.
Applicants are asked to list their choices in order of preference on the application form. While every effort will be made to assign students to their first choice, it may not be possible to do so in all instances.
