FAQs about Our Cambridge Courses
No, Oxford Summer Courses is a private education company. While we host our programmes in Cambridge colleges, we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Cambridge.
For students aged 13–15, we offer seminars and small group learning. For students aged 16–24, we use tutorial-style teaching, inspired by the Cambridge system, where students explore topics in depth with expert tutors.
Students stay in Cambridge University college accommodation (such as Sidney Sussex, Fitzwilliam, or Gonville & Caius), depending on age and availability. Rooms are single or shared, and include access to college dining and facilities.
