Coding in Oxford

Learn to speak computer

Are you fascinated in the way computer programmes are designed? Want to master the languages which have built the world as we know it? Studying coding allows you to understand how the globalised, online world works and potential ways to change it.

Oxford looks like a city stuck in the past, but it actually contains the researchers who are writing the future. You will be learning in the same places that inspired Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web and have the opportunity to get cutting edge insight from world-leaders in this field. You’ll look at different coding languages, such as Python and Arduino and use them to design your own programmes. But our tutors will take you beyond this, delving into the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, examining the limits and potentials of code.

From age 13 to 24, our Oxford coding summer courses are designed specifically to fit your level of experience.

Our Tutors

Futuristic thinking in an historical city. You will be taught by some of the world's sharpest coders.

The week will start with a series of seminars, which give you a chance to explore the subject in a small group. You'll receive individualised guidance from your tutor, which provides the perfect launch pad for independent work undertaken in your personal study time. You will be expected to contribute to class discussion and spend time tackling complex problems. Don't expect it to be easy!

The end of the week brings the opportunity for individual contact with your tutor, who will resolve any problems you've had, developing and consolidating your week's work. Expect your skills and understanding to be stretched and rapidly improved.

Why not mix it up a little?

Are you torn between two subjects, or undecided on which city to study in? The good news is that you can often combine two subjects, or even split your studies between different UK locations.

"The favourite thing about my subject was that for the first time I felt like I was challenged, coming from a person who has taken Computer Science for 3 years in school (at GCSE and A Levels), which was kind of exciting and intimidating at the same time."

"The classes have simply amazed me and the tutor has guided us every step of the way, focusing on our interests, but also developing our critical thinking by encouraging us to support our views and finding arguments to do so."

"The main reason why I choose oxford summer courses was to make new experiences, both with people and for myself to grow as an individual. Looking back now, the two weeks might be one of the most memorable and I am greatly thankful and satisfied."
