Oxford Launch: London

Your first semester of college will begin not just on a new campus, but in a new country. Oxford Launch: London blends Oxford College’s close‑knit, student‑centered community with the global energy of London, helping you begin college with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of adventure. 

This Welcome Website is your starting point. Here, you’ll find the big‑picture overview of your fall semester: academics, housing, daily life in London, travel expectations, safety, and what it means to join the Oxford community. 

Soon, you’ll gain access to the London Essentials Canvas course, your secure, student‑only onboarding portal. Canvas is where the final details will appear — required forms, recommended flights, arrival‑day instructions, packing guidance, and step‑by‑step tasks. You’ll also use the MyIESAbroad portal to complete certain program-required materials. 

Use this site now to understand the overall roadmap. Canvas and MyIESAbroad will guide you step‑by‑step when final details become available. 

Start Here: Your First Step

Begin by reviewing the Oxford Launch: London Checklist, your month‑by‑month summer guide to required forms, tasks, and deadlines. This is the best way to stay organized throughout the summer.
