Learning
Outline
History Oxford summer school at Oxford Summer Courses for ages 16-17 years. Study History with Oxford Summer Courses. From events and legends through the ages to questions surrounding philosophy and methodology, we’ll cover everything on our influential History course. You’ll learn about different social and cultural contexts, causes, and impacts of world conflicts and explore the reasons for political arguments, forming your own opinions based on your new knowledge. What is history? If you think that’s a simple question, it’s time to think again. Challenge how history really works and uncover why it still powers our political discourse today. Set and reflect on ambitious goals with our support, engage in tutorial Q&A sessions, participate in an academic skills masterclass for critical thinking development, explore future career pathways through expert speakers, attend a university fair to meet representatives from various universities, and have the chance to visit different Oxford colleges for a comprehensive Oxford summer school experience.
Teaching methodology
Learn the Oxford way with tutorial-style teaching. Your expert tutor will foster self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (no bigger than 8). During your course, you will complete two pieces of independent work (essays or problem sheets), which your tutor will then evaluate in either a 1:1 or 2:1 tutorial. Tutorials will provide you with the opportunity to discuss your work and feedback with your tutor and learn new perspectives from your classmates. On completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate and letter of recommendation from your tutor.
The Summer Courses experience
Moving to the 16-17 age group, academic pursuits deepen with seminars, tutorials, and independent study sessions. Goal-setting and reflection sessions remain integral, offering a personalised approach to academic and personal growth. The University Fair and college visits provide valuable insights into higher education options, enriching the overall Oxford summer school experience.
