Peace and Conflict Studies
Why do countries go to war? What is the impact of conflict on a society? And how do we find the path to sustainable peace? This course offers the opportunity to explore these questions and more through an introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies, an interdisciplinary Social Science dedicated to understanding the root causes of conflict and the conditions for the promotion of peace.
Development Economics (The Oxford Tradition)
Students get to grips with the global economy and, within it, with its inequalities. Drawing on geography, economics, biology, demography, social and political history, they seek to determine why, in the past 150 years, certain parts of the world have thrived while others have not, and what measures – if any – communities, governments, and supranational organizations can take to make the global economy more equitable while ensuring its sustainability. Students complete the course by proposing their own measures either for individual states, regions, or supranational organizations.
Politics (The Oxford Summer Seminar)
What goals and methodologies, if any, do politicians around the world share? To what extent are politicians able to change contemporary society? And how can the social sciences be used to explain electoral outcomes? Working on contrasting political systems, data analyses, domestic politics, international relations, and political philosophy, students decrypt the fundamentals of 21st-century politics.
Environmental Science (The Cambridge Experience)
As the world teeters on the brink of ecological disaster, students are introduced to the complex sciences behind the headlines. They learn about the different disciplines that combine to make Environmental science possible, notably Atmospheric Science, Chemistry, and Ecology. Working from a range of case studies, they discover how environmental scientists assess and respond to different challenges, and learn about the benefits and disbenefits of the statutory proposals and technological solutions being touted in the public sphere, from carbon offset to electric cars, via lab-grown meat and the prospect of radical lifestyle change for everyone.
Fashion and Design (Oxbridge in Barcelona)
Few cities are as creative and fashionable as Barcelona. Exploiting these extraordinary resources, students study the artists and designers who have made Barcelona famous, and by meeting with local creators and entrepreneurs, they acquire the skills to design, create, and develop their own brands from scratch. They present their portfolios and creations at the end of the program.
Philosophy
Consider the big questions alongside giants from the past like Socrates, Plato and the dozens of more contemporary philosophers who show us who we are by asking the big questions. Introducing key concepts and schools of thought from throughout the history of philosophy, this course also includes a key focus on the development of critical thinking and argumentation.
Creative Writing (The Oxford Experience)
Students compose fiction and poetry under the guidance of a published author, with Oxford's rich literary history as their inspiration. They experiment with new forms and styles of writing. Published authors give workshops in which students learn about the creative process and the practicalities of publication. Students develop a portfolio of their best writing and collaborate to design, edit, and publish a literary magazine.
Neuropsychology (The Oxford Tradition)
Using cognitive, experimental, and clinical approaches, students explore the structure and function of the brain as it relates to cognitive process and behavior. Students address the principles of neuroscience, neurology, and psychiatry, learn select diagnostic techniques, and study brain injuries and mental disorders. Classroom experiments are complemented by visits to laboratories.
