Students are provided with accommodation at New College, Oxford. Founded by William of Wykham in 1379, New College is one of the largest, best known and most beautiful of the Oxford colleges. The college is located in a prime city centre location and is a short walk from both the teaching rooms and the Bodleian Law Library.

Students are accommodated at New College in single study bedrooms.

The rooms are intended primarily for undergraduate students and are as such fairly basic in their décor and furnishings, though all include a desk, wardrobe and ensuite (private) bathrooms. Rooms vary considerably in age, shape and layout.

We regret that students cannot be accommodated at New College either prior to or beyond the programme dates. In addition, family members and/or friends who are not enrolled on this summer school cannot be accommodated in college.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided every day in the college's dining hall.  With the exception of the welcome and farewell dinners which are served at the table, all meals are self-service with a range of options available.  Should applicants have any dietary requirements (e.g. gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan) please make sure to include these in the relevant section on the application form.

Non-residential students

We encourage all students to take advantage of the accommodation provided at New College but, for those who already live nearby or for whom the accommodation would not be suitable, it is possible to attend the programme on a non-residential basis. Please contact the Oxford Course Administrator at ihrl-events@law.ox.ac.uk for further information.

 

I would certainly recommend this program. The IHRL summer program developed my understanding of international human rights, presented me with new ideas and issues that I had not considered before, and fostered thought-provoking conversations with faculty and fellow students. The variety of lectures and events offered supplemented the program courses well. Finally, the opportunity to live and study in the beautiful setting of New College is one that I will always cherish.
