IFSA: University of Oxford Partnership
The University of Oxford, founded in 1250, is actually a federation of individual colleges. Through IFSA, highly qualified students may study at one of several Oxford Colleges. The hallmark of the Ox-bridge model is the tutorial system. In this system, students meet one-on-one with their tutor either once a week or every other week. At the center of the tutorial is an essay on a topic the tutor previously assigned. Successful visiting Oxford students work well independently and are able to thrive in an intense academic system.
“You can participate in self driven research in one of the best university/library systems in the world, with tutorials taught by some of the leading minds in their fields. It was a very different experience than Whitman provides, which offered an opportunity to develop multiple skills and learn valuable lessons from another system of education.” - James M. '18
