Whether you study with us in Oxford, Cambridge, London, students from around the world can discover our high-quality teaching, and every student achieves a certificate and a letter of recommendation from their tutor.

Once you complete your course with us, you will receive a letter of recommendation. That letter will confirm your attendance, your subject, and who your tutor was - this will also include their academic profile. The letter itself is a signed document from the principal of Oxford Summer Courses and will include a report from your tutor regarding your academic performance. You can use this letter however you like including for job and university applications.

What’s Included in an Oxford Summer Course?

Our tailored summer courses for ages 9-24 include all teaching and academic content, accommodation, meals (including Friday night formal dinners), a prize-giving ceremony, all-day trips and activities, airport transfers, access to Oxford Summer Courses Foundations, travel and medical insurance, and a welcome pack. Apply now to secure your spot in one of our comprehensive summer courses.

Each week students prepare for seminars, for those aged 16-24, you will have a weekly tutorial as well. Our classes for 9-12 years old are small and interactive, meaning our younger learners get lots of attention from their tutor.

Seminars and tutorials are stimulating and thought-provoking for students and tutors alike. The weekly discussions and dialogue feed into the learning that takes place throughout the course, and we find that our students gain confidence in their academic ability and come away with the ability to organise their ideas.
