Balancing academic commitments with personal exploration is a crucial aspect of the Oxford Summer Courses experience. Here's what you can expect in terms of your schedule and free time during the summer school.

Who’s Eligible to Apply to Oxford Summer Courses?

Eligibility for standard courses across all age groups (ages 9-24) requires applicants to be proficient in English and possess a keen interest in exploring the subjects they are applying for. For advanced courses in Cambridge for ages 18-24, students must have completed at least the second year of an undergraduate qualification (or equivalent) in the same area as the subject they wish to study. Apply now to check your eligibility and apply for our courses.

Finding the Right Balance

  • Q: How much spare time will I have?
  • A: You’ll be expected to spend a few hours each day preparing for tutorials and seminars during your Oxford Summer Courses summer school. There are plenty of organised (optional as well as programmed) activities most days. This still leaves time to explore and relax. Giving you the freedom to choose when to work and when to relax is part of the summer school experience, and key to our ethos at Oxford Summer Courses. Have a look at our example weekly timetables for a clearer idea.
