The courses enable students to advance their knowledge, try a subject they want to study at university, or explore a new area of interest. It is perfect for students who want to demonstrate their passion and commitment to their chosen subject, but also ideal for older students wanting to enhance their academic English and get ahead in their studies and career.

World Class Facilities
Our Summer Course is held across prestigious Oxford University Colleges, including Hertford and Somerville College. Students experience living and studying alongside iconic landmarks such as the Radcliffe Camera and Bodleian Library, as well as the beautiful surroundings of Hertford College. Course participants are only ever a stone’s throw away from high street shops, luscious green spaces, and top local attractions.
​
Students on our programme have a unique chance to walk in the footsteps of past Prime Ministers and Nobel Prize winners, through ancient quads and into medieval chapels, including those within Hertford College. The course allows participants to live in the heart of academically inspiring and culturally rich surroundings, meeting fellow students from around the world, developing connections, and learning in the same venues as current undergraduates. Teaching is delivered in small seminar groups (average of 6 students) across a range of spaces, mirroring the Oxbridge tutorial system and traditional college study routines.
​
Accommodation options typically include standard bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Single en-suite rooms are limited, so we recommend students wanting a single room to book as early as possible. Breakfast and dinners take place in stunning college dining facilities, including those at Hertford College. Lunches are taken in the heart of the Oxford town center, giving participants a truly all-round and authentic student experience.
