The University of Canterbury has announced a new exchange opportunity which will allow 42 senior students to study for a term at the University of Oxford.
There will be places for 32 honours students and 10 postgraduates students from arts, humanities, social sciences or law. The term will commence after Easter.
University of Canterbury Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Town was delighted to announce details of the exchange programme. “Immediately after news of the 22 February earthquake reached the UK, the Vice-Chancellor Professor Hamilton contacted us to see if Oxford could be of help, with the result that these fully funded places for UC students were offered by the University of Oxford and its colleges.” Town thanked Hamilton and his Oxford colleagues for their generosity and strong support.
In addition to full college membership, residential accommodation, and waived fees, students chosen for the exchange will be given a special scholarship of $2000 by the University of Canterbury to cover international travel, taxes and insurance.
