Sir John is a former British Ambassador and Oxford graduate programme director.
"I found Trinity College to be a very friendly, cosy college with helpful staff and a top-notch librarian. I felt very welcome and would not have wanted to be with any other college."

Six educational tours a term (plus personal visits to historic sites arranged by tutors) are an integral part of the core course.
This course is arranged by WISC upon the recommendation of several Study Abroad Advisers and is in addition to the Oxford University curriculum for Visiting Students. Termly exams will be based on the reading and lectures.
