Oxford Muslim-Christian Summer School
Part 1: 12th - 19th August 2026
Part 2: 4th - 6th December 2026
Join the 11th CMCS Summer School with a full programme of Muslim and Christian speakers and teachers.
We will again be hosting the 2026 event at Ripon College Cuddeson, set in beautiful countryside just outside the historic university city of Oxford. We have a network of 150 alumni from half a dozen Muslim colleges and over a dozen Christian seminaries and, many with great stories to tell of their time in Oxford. Check out the testimonials and the endorsements of our partner colleges.
The summer school is designed for Christian and Muslim theological students and early career faith leaders. Applicants must be practising members of a Christian or Muslim community of any tradition or denomination. The programme includes lectures, workshops and tutorials led by Christian and Muslim academics which will explore sacred texts, shared history and contemporary issues. The School is residential offering a unique opportunity to get to know one another over meals, during free time and punting on the river! The summer school is followed by a reunion weekend in December which forms an integral part of the learning and relationship building.
Applicants must be based in the UK and be students or recent graduates at an Islamic or Christian theological college training for or in the early stages of vocational, faith-based careers in the UK. These may include faith leadership, youth work, interfaith work or teaching.
Application deadline 30th April 2026. Selection and confirmation of places will only take place after that date. Payment will then be required to secure your place.
