Visiting Students

We are delighted to offer an Extended Michaelmas Term (MT+) for students who prefer not to visit for the whole academic year. LMH continues to recommend that visiting students apply for the whole year whenever possible, but we recognise that for a variety of reasons this is not always feasible.  

The Extended Michaelmas Term starts at the beginning of September each year, running continuously into full term. It gives students the opportunity to have more tuition in their chosen area of study, and to experience some cultural activities. We believe that this will enable the work achieved by students throughout the Extended Michaelmas Term to equate to a full semester at their home universities.

Applicants may select two sets of 8 tutorials or classes to study across the entire Extended Michaelmas Term. The first set of 8 tutorials will begin in September, and will continue into Michaelmas term. The other set of 8 tutorials will begin at the start of Michaelmas, in October.

We provide a full induction schedule including an Introduction to Studying at Oxford seminar, an individual meeting with the Director of Visiting Students, a library induction and a welcome meeting.  There will be an exciting programme of excursions to local places of historical importance such as Blenheim Palace, and Oxford’s premier museum and gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, and a walking tour of Oxford.  We also organise student 'Buddies', who are current undergraduate students of LMH, to help the students settle into College life; the 'Buddies' will also arrange ad hoc social events.

We would encourage study-abroad offices who have interested students to be in touch with the Director of Visiting Students to discuss the suitability of the Extended Michaelmas Term for their students.

Courses in Biology, Economics, Law, and Mathematics are only available from October onwards so applicants wishing to study courses in these subjects will only be able to request these for their second set of tutorials.  Courses in Ancient History, Classics, Classical Archaeology, English, History, History of Art, Management, Music, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology and Theology are available in September and throughout Michaelmas term.
