John and Sandy Feneley to establish in Oxford a permanent institute for the interdisciplinary study of the Medieval, Renaissance and early modern periods and to provide academic training for overseas students who wish to complete part of their education in Oxford but are not matriculated members of any of its colleges. See the CMRS Brochure<\/a> and this video<\/a> for more info!<\/p>\n CMRS is located within 150 yards of Carfax, the ancient crossroads of the city and centre of Oxford\u2019s academic, cultural and social life. \u00a0The Centre is housed in St. Michael\u2019s Hall, in the centre of Oxford, ideally placed for easy access to London and to airports, rail and coach stations for weekend visits to the continent, Ireland or other parts of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n Oxford itself is the home of many of the world\u2019s greatest writers, if filled with scenes from hundreds of years of medieval history and yet is home to modern facilities for shopping, restaurants, and sporting events.<\/p>\n Academics at CMRS are focused on history, literature, and the arts, however, qualified students from all disciplines are welcome to apply.<\/p>\n The curriculum at CMRS is based on three academic components:<\/p>\n During a semester, a student takes four courses for a total of 16 credits: the Integral Course, one Seminar Course, and two Tutorial Courses. Information the course options can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n A note on grading and credits for this program: SMCM uses the same<\/em> grading system as Middlebury’s CMRS program. One Middlebury unit equals four SMCM credits. SMCM will adhere to the transfer credit policy when transferring credits from the program transcript.<\/p>\n Student\u2019s are housed in St. Michael\u2019s Hall, a centrally located facility with classrooms, a 40-bed dormitory, a large kitchen, and various social spaces. \u00a0Rooms are shared, and are all comfortably furnished with linen, duvets (comforters) and blankets provided. \u00a0A local grocery store, pubs, and other shops, as well as Keble College resources, are all within walking distance.<\/p>\n Students are responsible for providing their own meals while at CMRS. \u00a0Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available for purchase in Keble\u2019s magnificent neo-Gothic dining hall weekdays, with brunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Dinner from Sunday to Friday is formal and members of the college are required to wear academic gowns, supplied by CMRS.<\/p>\n Students attending the CMRS program are considered Associate Members of Keble College, one of the largest colleges at Oxford. \u00a0This status affords students access to campus facilities and a wide range of opportunities for integration into university life including the Bodleian Library, the junior common room, and association with college clubs and sports teams. \u00a0Many students follow their own interests at Oxford and take advantage of the numerous social and sport clubs and societies.<\/p>\n Easy access to public transportation makes it possible for most students to travel while studying at CMRS. \u00a0However, students are encouraged to be cautious when booking travel during the semester as academic commitments will not be rearranged to suit travel plans.<\/p>\n See the following for how grades and credits are translated back to SMCM.
