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!!

Participant of CBL International Oxford Easter School 2010

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.

I experienced the CBL International Oxford Summer Law School as a unique opportunity to study at a historic, world famous and cosmopolitan educational hot spot. Furthermore, I appreciate my participation very much because I became familiar with the University of Oxford and improved my legal knowledge as well as my English skills. Moreover, I got acquainted to well-known professors and met students from different educational and cultural backgrounds. While the summer programme was limited in time, friendships and social networks still remain.

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!
