Brown Experiential Education: Oxford

The best way to learn something new is to immerse yourself both mentally and physically. That’s what happens in Brown Experiential Education (BEE) programs. You’ll find these programs to be immersive and rigorous academic experiences, with program locations carefully selected to enhance course content. Learning is rich and experiential as you physically link your studies with your surroundings. The programs’ interdisciplinary approach will help prepare you for the increasingly complex challenges of the 21st century: you’ll discover the interconnectedness of the global community by exploring new places and considering varied perspectives. Explore Oxford University’s storied campus and surrounding historical sites while studying public policy. Learn from world-class researchers while discussing international events with noted experts from around the globe. Oxford University is a prime location for practitioners at the top of their fields in global policy, economics and politics. Your learning will not be limited to the classroom, as you travel around Oxfordshire and London. The best public policy is designed from a comparative perspective. You will learn to design and frame policy that considers the larger regional, as well as political context directly from those who work in government. In addition, you will understand how to design policy that is persuasive to decision makers. Finally, you will practice conducting comparative stakeholder analysis that brings regional, political and government actors into focus to design better policy.
