Location
Oxford is the county town of Oxfordshire, situated in South East England. The city has a population of just under 165,000, with 151,000 living within the district boundary.
The rivers Cherwell and Thames run through Oxford and meet south of the city centre. For a distance of some 10 miles (16 km) along the river, in the vicinity of Oxford, the Thames is known as The Isis.
The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world.
Buildings in Oxford demonstrate an example of every British architectural period since the arrival of the Saxons, including the iconic, mid-18th century Radcliffe Camera. Oxford is known as the “city of dreaming spires”, a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold in reference to the harmonious architecture of Oxford’s university buildings.
Please find more information about Oxford at the official website of Oxford City.
London
For your leisure time activities you can think about a trip to the capital city of England, London, much the largest city in western Europe.
London is one of the most exciting, attractive and expensive cities not just in Europe but in the world too. You will have the chance to see all the best known attractions, such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and of course many, many more sights of your own choosing…
Some facts about famous sights in London:
Buckingham Palace is the home of Queen Elizabeth II. Though with its world-famous Edwardian facade added in the early 20th century, the main palace is nearly 300 years old.
Westminster Abbey is one of the world’s most visited churches. It is the scene of coronations, marriages, and burials of British monarchs. Visitors can see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, royal tombs and the Shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, and furthermore the Coronation Chair.
The Tower of London was once the seat of British government, and is among the many living quarters of British monarchs. It has been the site of political intrigue, and is the repository of the Crown Jewels. It was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. The Tower of London, as William named it, was intended to be the most striking symbol of his power.
Directly south of the Tower of London, spanning the River Thames, lies the remarkable Tower Bridge. This bridge is one of the most famous bascule (or ‘swing’) bridges in the world. It was built between 1886 and 1894 by the City of London Corporation to link the south-eastern suburbs with the City and eastern London. It is able to raise both bascules within two minutes. It cost over one million pounds in that day’s money.
Blenheim Palace
In addition, nearer Oxford, you will be taken to Blenheim Palace, home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough, and birthplace of Winston Churchill. Blenheim Palace is one of the most beautiful Baroque palaces, and is surrounded by magnificent landscape gardens and an enchanting lake. You will have time to feel the exceptional sense of history behind the walls, relax and enjoy the beauty of the English countryside.

Participant of CBL International Oxford Summer Institute at Oriel College 2011
Before I took part in the CBL ‘s summer program in Oxford in 2011, I never thought I would change my mind to spend my next few years studying in the UK. As you can imagine, I love studying and living in Oxford!! In this program we have lectures on subjects like Legal theory, IP law, European law, international trade law, as well as many other courses. Small-class teaching made us easier to communicate with our professors. During the days in Oxford, the knowledgeable professors provided us an overview on the common law system, and some activities which is organized by CBL gave us comprehensive prospectives about our law. For instance, we had a chance to visite the Royal High Courts of Justice in London and to attend the trial as audience in the Oxford Local Court with my group partners. In addition, I want to mention other interesting activities we had, such as punting at Oxford river, tour to Cambridge. The one made me proud the most was I won the second prize of the table football match with my friend Soloon!! At last, accommodation is really good! We lived in the Oriel College so that we can easily talk with their students and have breakfast with professors!! Thanks for the CBL and Oriel College!!

The CBL International Oxford Easter School was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We had a very pleasant group with students from different parts of the world. I have had the opportunity to meet some of the most brightest and prestigious lecturers from the University of Oxford. I loved the visits of the places like different museums, London, the Woodstock Castle, which was the place of birth of Sir Winston Churchill. Oxford as a whole is like big museum: Its architecture is fascinating, and I felt like in the 14th century. I had lot of fun with my new friends while at the same time the classes have been very serious and demanding. The program is a once in a lifetime experience, so I warmly recommend it to everyone.

Meeting new people from Korea, USA, Australia, Hong Kong, and different parts of Europe is an incredible experience. By the end of the third week we have become such a close-knit group. CBL International organises gatherings a few times a year in different parts of the world to connect alumni and enable us to stay in touch with other participants. The program incorporates fun and highly educative London trips, which can enhance our exposure to those in the business/legal fields and allow us to build first-hand connection with those in the professions. The programme gives you also plenty of time to do fun things during the 3-week program such as going to the theatres, eating out and visiting the landmarks of London.

Participant of CBL International Oxford Summer Institute at Oriel College 2011
Before taking part in CBL International’s Oxford Summer Program in 2011, I never thought much of living overseas. But now after completing the course, my plans in life has completely changed! I absolutely loved studying in Oxford and want to spend my next few years living in the UK!
The program was simply amazing as the small-class teaching style provided us with a great communication environment with our professors. It incorporated lectures on legal theory, IP law, European law, international trade law, as well as many others. In addition to the knowledgeable professors providing an overview of the common law system, CBL International comprehensively fulfilled the program with a visit to the Royal High Courts of Justice in London. There we had the experience of a lifetime by attending a trial as the audience in the Oxford Local Court!
It wasn’t just all about studying and learning though as the Oxford Summer Program also integrated a tour to Cambridge, which was absolutely great fun! I was very proud of myself for getting second prize at a foosball competition with my friend.
At last, the accommodation at Oriel College was one of the greatest things about the whole program. It was extremely nice, comfortable, convenient, allowed us to easily talk to local students, and have breakfast with professors!
Thank you so much for the great experience CBL International and Oriel College!
