"The best lesson I have had so far was at Oxford Summer Courses when we studied Game Theory during the summer school, and when we did presentations in class about shops or platforms that we had to imagine ourselves."
Andy, Germany
"The time I spent at Oxford Summer Courses summer school was unforgettable, which sparked my strong interest in studying law. There were only two students in the law-learning class, and our tutor at Oxford Summer Courses was a professional with extensive experience in the legal field."

"During the two weeks at Oxford Summer Courses, we covered various aspects of psychology and learned a lot by discussing our ideas, debating, and reading. I also improved my writing skills by working on an essay and a poster under the supervision of a careful and attentive tutor."
