Five more Dickinson students will soon embark on an exciting academic journey through Oxford University’s Visiting Student Programme at Mansfield College.

This opportunity places them among a select group of students chosen to experience one of the most prestigious and intellectually demanding university environments in the world.

The students in the 2025-26 group are:

The Mansfield program offers students the chance to engage with world-class faculty and learn alongside a diverse, international student body. Each year, approximately 40 students join Mansfield as full members, receiving official status within the University of Oxford.

With these five students heading to Oxford, Dickinson now boasts a 13-year total of 48 students accepted into the program, with four accepted last year. Open to applicants from selective U.S. and EU institutions, the program requires a minimum 3.70 GPA and strong faculty recommendations, ensuring only the most dedicated and high-achieving students are selected.

Mansfield College’s emphasis on academic excellence and access reflects Dickinson’s own mission to cultivate global thinkers and leaders. This long-standing partnership continues to provide students with life-changing academic and cultural experiences.
