Highlights: The challenging course of study introduces students first hand to the style of education that Oxford has made famous. The distinctiveness of the Oxford tutorial system lies in the small intimate meetings of students with their tutors. While students attend seminar meetings, the central part of the student's work lies in meetings with the tutor. Each course requires one substantial paper per week. Students have access to the Bodleian Library, one of the most distinguished libraries in Europe, as well as to other university libraries. The tutors, all of them experienced Oxford faculty who have taught in the Duke program for several years, understand how to introduce students to this unique approach to learning.
