About the Program: An Overview
Santa Clara’s Oxford program, founded in 1978, is conducted at Magdalen College at Oxford University. Magdalen College (founded in 1458, with some buildings dating even earlier) is one of the most historic and beautiful academic settings in the world. It is a 100 acre oasis complete with cloisters, medieval chapel, 15th Century bell tower, and a deer park. Alumni of Magdalen College include C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Oscar Wilde, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Souter. Over the years, Santa Clara has developed a close working relationship with the Oxford law faculty and the British legal community. Students in the Santa Clara program may take full advantage of this long relationship and tradition through living and dining in the College, studying at the Bodleian and All Souls libraries, and experiencing the Oxford tutorial method of instruction. In sum, students in the Santa Clara program study law in much the same manner as would a British law student or Rhodes scholar.
We welcome applications from students at any accredited law school who will have completed their first year of legal studies at the beginning of summer.
Alumnus commentary: "After researching all seven ABA approved law programs at Oxford, it became clear to me that the Santa Clara program was the best. The most striking aspect of the program is the fact that actual Oxford professors are used, rather than simply importing domestic professors from the home university. . . As a non-Santa Clara student I was immediately welcomed . . . we all bonded within the first few days. The Santa Clara program is one of the few programs that can boast the ability to grant its students access to the famous Bodleian Library, and even the more exclusive law library at All Souls College. From start to finish, the Santa Clara program is first class all the way and well worth the investment."

"The experience was truly amazing! The one-on-one tutorial method was intense. The program was a lifetime event for me."
