The Oxford Spring School programme is organised by the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford and consists of eight course options in quantitative and qualitative methods.
There are four morning courses and four afternoon courses to choose from, and applicants can choose to take one course or two courses (one morning and one afternoon course) together.
There are also social and networking opportunities throughout the week, including, for in-person attendees, a formal three-course dinner (included in the course fee). Online participants have their own virtual welcome reception and networking opportunities. In-person attendees have the option to book accommodation for the week in Oxford.
