You can apply via this application. The application deadline is October 17, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.

There are a limited number of slots that are paid for through your campus’s foundation. Students who are not selected for the limited slots might also have the opportunity to fund their own trip.

In order to be eligible you must be a current CT State student in good academic standing.

We typically send anywhere between 6-8 students to each workshop.

Yes, faculty can attend the workshops. For each workshop there are no more than two faculty members that attend.

Students are expected to register for a 3-credit HUM1098: Special Topics in Humanities course at CT State Northwestern. This course is covered by financial aid as an unrestricted elective OR a liberal arts elective.

Students and faculty travel to Oxford together. Students meet at Bradley International Airport where they will fly out to a larger airport and fly into Heathrow. Students will stay in Oxford dorms for the entirety of the program.

Students will need some funding for dinners (breakfast and lunch are provided), and any souvenir money they might want.

Students are encouraged to talk about their interest in human rights work, their experience volunteering or working with both on campus and off campus groups, and their goals for attending the workshop. Students will also be required to get a faculty recommendation as part of the application.

Applicants will be contacted in mid-November if they are accepted into the program.

Students do not need a current passport to apply for the program, though it is highly encouraged that students start working on getting a passport as soon as possible if they would like to travel. Current wait times for passports are anywhere between 9-16 weeks. Students will be responsible for getting and paying for their passports.
