Students split their time evenly between two world-class research centres — Oxford University and the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland — and are supervised by leading researchers in both places. Oxford has also collaborated extensively with NASA in instrumentation for planetary exploration. The Astrophysics sub-department in Physics collaborates extensively with researchers, institutions and facilities around the world, with particularly strong connections with the United States.

    Students can apply to attend the other university for two academic terms in either their second or final year of study. ProQuest has already created digital images for more than , works, distributed under the title Early English Books Online. The Universities of Michigan and Oxford, with the support of the international library community, are creating accurately keyboarded and tagged editions of a significant portion of this culturally significant corpus.

    The Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership has since been engaged in creating searchable and readable transcriptions and linking them directly to the corresponding ProQuest image files. In combination, the text and image editions of these works provide a powerful research and instructional tool of unquestioned enduring value.

    The Partnership is pressing forward with renewed momentum and gathering support for a more ambitious goal: Callaloo, says its editor, serves "to exhibit, preserve, critique, and promote African Diaspora literary and visual culture. The workshops were originally created as an outreach programme to historically black colleges and universities in the USA, but these workshops have now expanded to serve new and emerging poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers throughout English-speaking regions of the African Diaspora.

    Each armed conflict embedded in it evolves in distinct ways. These changes range from the groups involved, the means used to the places affected. Seeking to challenge unidimensional understandings of conflict that derive from adopting single disciplinary and epistemological approaches, they trace trends and directions of change in five dimensions of armed conflict. By focusing on change rather than magnitude this project goes beyond current conflict indices which create country rankings and stigmatise those countries that are ranked least. This exchange programme offers 3rd year Columbia law students the chance to study law at Oxford for 2 academic terms through its Masters in Law and Finance curriculum, and in exchange allows Oxford graduates to audit Law School courses and conduct research under the guidance of faculty members.

    In addition, faculty members from both law schools will also participate in the exchange to facilitate academic interaction and new teaching experiences. PCMLP provides a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the playing out of human rights debates in media systems and the impact of media changes on democratic values and economic development. This event brings together young scholars and regulators to discuss important recent trends in technology, international politics and development and its influence on media policy. Participants come from around the world; countries represented at previous summer institutes include Thailand, Kenya, China, Brazil, Egypt, Nigeria, Jordan, Italy and Bosnia, among others.

    Oxford is a member of the International Alliance of Research Universities IARU , an alliance between ten of the world's leading research-intensive universities who share similar visions for higher education, in particular the education of future leaders. There are currently over 1, students from the USA, the majority studying at graduate level where they are predominantly split between Humanities and Social Sciences.

    Rhodes Scholarships have been particularly instrumental in attracting talented American students to Oxford. Thirty-two Rhodes Scholarships are awarded annually to Americans. Prospective American students can also apply for a wide range of other scholarship opportunities. She is a leading seismologist specialising in tectonics, volcanoes and hazards and her recent work has focused on great earthquakes in Sumatra, Antarctica, and Indonesia.

    Her long-term research aims to contribute to the development of better earthquake prediction capabilities. She has published extensively on inequality, federalism, and the causes and consequences of democratisation and regime change, with the focus of her recent work being on post-conflict democracies. She is the founding director of the Oxford University Centre for the Study of Inequality and Democracy which is the centre for collaborative research in comparative politics of democracies.

    In she was awarded an Oxford University Teaching Excellence Award as nominated and voted for by her students. As would be expected, Oxford has a considerable and impressive list of prominent American alumni, including:.
