Each prospective student needs to make the important decision of which degree course they wish to study for the next three or four years. By choosing a course that best suits their strengths, interests and learning style, students can ensure their university experience is successful and fulfilling.
A wide range of courses is available at Oxford, the vast majority of which are offered at Christ Church.

The course content and structure do not vary from college to college, nor do the exams.
A tutorial is an hourly weekly meeting with a tutor and usually one or two other students. At the meeting, you'll discuss ideas, concepts and debates relating to the reading you were set for the week. You'll be asked to prepare a piece of independent written work ahead of the tutorial.
For every course offered by Christ Church, there's an academic who has expertise in your area of study and is producing cutting-edge research in their field. These researchers, who range from Junior Research Fellows to Professors, will be your tutors.
The tutor will lead the conversations, set the reading list and assign written work, as well as give feedback on your work and track your academic progress. To find out who is the tutor for your subject at Christ Church, as well as their specialisation, check the course page by following the relevant link above.
There are many benefits to the tutorial system! It is a place where you can exchange ideas, get different perspectives, test new arguments and gain valuable constructive criticism to push your thinking further. Sharing your views in this way is academically demanding. However, by expressing your ideas, you will develop an ability to think for yourself and build the confidence to voice your own opinions.
Each week you'll typically have one essay or problem sheet to prepare for your tutorial. By regularly working towards tight deadlines, you'll become adept at finding resources, planning and writing a well-argued essay in a short space of time. The constructive feedback you receive from your tutors will sharpen your ability to write an argumentative essay with precision.

The general theme this year will be Christian Theology and Human Creativity. Seminars will explore this theme through engagement with the arts and aesthetics, but also through theological reflection on the importance of human creativity in, for example: science and technology, including AI; business and entrepreneurialism; liturgy and worship; discipleship, formation and wellbeing; as well as examining the role of creativity in the writing and reading of Scripture and in Christian theology itself.
The Theology Summer School warmly invites all participants to take part in the social programme. The optional social activites, at no extra cost, include a welcome reception on the Sunday of your arrival and a formal gala dinner to close each week of the programme. An optional walking tour of Oxford will take place on Saturday, at an additional cost, with tickets going on sale later in the year.
This seminar will explore Christian creativity and creators, beginning in the Middle Ages and tracing how ideas, images, and themes from that period still speak powerfully in our own modern day. We'll look at the kinds of creativity which animated the medieval Church's buildings, spirituality, worship, and teaching, and alongside that we'll look at the ways Christian (and other) creators today continue to respond to, learn from, and struggle with that period of Christian history. Our material for discussion will include medieval art, drama, architecture, poetry, liturgy, and more, and we'll engage with a variety of modern responses and replies.
The degree to which humans engage in creativity, and the variety displayed within individuals as well as across cultures and generations, is truly astounding. We see ingenuity in art, literature, technology, bodily ornamentation, science, problem-solving and even in how we worship and engage with God. In this seminar we will explore various dimensions of what creativity is. We will engage with recent scientific discoveries on how creativity develops within us, in societies, and across generations. We will also discuss differences in creative processes in humans, other species, AI and in God. In addition, there will be time to explore evidence-based ways to nurture creativity as well as to engage and reflect on the practice of being creative from a theological and psychological perspective.
