Learning

Outline

Economics and Finance affect us all. In business and in life. As you explore the world around you and look toward your future career, you’ll understand its implications even more. Our Economics and Finance course is designed to help you dissect the most important issues from macroeconomics (international level) and how businesses succeed and fail within a domestic economy (microeconomics). Considering how to look at measuring economic performance, markets, and competition for all-round, immersive learning.

Teaching methodology

Learning in a small group (no more than 15 students and often fewer) means that you get quality time with your teacher and ask as many questions as you like! Through interactive learning, our teachers will guide you through new concepts and assign you practice tasks to build your knowledge and skills. You will also have an opportunity for group work, independent research, and homework assignments to be discussed in class. Small classes mean everyone gets to have their say, and students learn from debating with one another, as well as from their tutor.

The Summer Courses experience

Hosted within the hallowed halls of Cambridge Colleges, students delve into subjects under the guidance of experts, fostering curiosity and critical thinking in a diverse, multicultural setting. The fusion of social activities and academic pursuits nurtures independent growth, complemented by empowering masterclasses and university fairs. 'Insider info' handbooks assist students in maximising their free time, while a gradual increase in freedom accompanies them through different age groups. This inclusive and welcoming environment encourages independent thinking, allowing you to explore your passions freely. Discover subjects you love without the constraints of traditional expectations, providing abundant opportunities for both personal and academic growth.

Review

Dev, United Kingdom

"My mentor at Oxford Summer Courses, Mr. Christian Holm, has been an absolute pleasure. I always look forward to his lessons, not only for my passion for economics but also because I feel Mr. Holm has been great at dissecting complicated and large ideas, making them simpler and easier to digest. The summer school experience with Mr. Holm as my mentor at Oxford Summer Courses has been invaluable in enhancing my understanding of economics."
