My time at St. Clare's far exceeded my expectations, and the things I experienced I never would have even imagined had I not enrolled. I recommend St. Clare's because in the time spent there, both professors and students made positive, lasting impressions on my education and my worldview, and furthermore, assisted me in focusing my sights towards goals for the future.

The St. Clare's Seminar Series is a forum for sustained academic reflection for our undergraduates and other adult students. The Series offers our students an opportunity to discuss a range of stimulating issues and ideas as well as a chance to interact with scholars from Oxford University and other renowned academic institutions.
Grading and credit
The Seminar Series is central to the semester's learning experience, and all students on the Programme are encouraged to participate. In addition, students who complete coursework associated with this Series to a satisfactory level will be eligible for three extra units of credit.
The Seminar Series is linked by a common theme which will be considered from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The series takes place on nine evenings throughout the semester at the Aula, Blackfriars, St Giles. Each seminar lasts approximately one hour.
