Why Study Economics in Oxford?

Oxford has a long-standing history of academic excellence in the field of economics. By studying economics in this world-renowned university city, you will have the opportunity to learn about key concepts such as supply and demand, market structures, and government policies. In addition, you will explore pressing global issues such as inflation, unemployment, and environmental sustainability. With access to expert tutors and like-minded peers, you will develop a deeper understanding of how economic theory is applied to real-world problems, helping you build critical thinking and analytical skills.

A Tailored Learning Experience

Our Economics courses cater to all levels of knowledge, whether you are just beginning to learn about the field or already have some experience in economics. With small class sizes and expert tutors, you’ll receive individualised feedback and support. Through engaging lessons, case studies, and interactive workshops, you’ll explore key economic theories, practice real-world application, and gain hands-on experience through simulations and discussions that allow you to connect the dots between theory and practice.

How are the Courses Structured?

Our Economics courses are designed to be flexible and tailored to the interests of each student, ensuring a personalised learning experience. Over the two-week course, you’ll explore fundamental topics such as market behaviour, government policy, and macroeconomic indicators, all while engaging in case studies, group work, and debates. The actual content may vary depending on tutor expertise and student preferences, allowing younger students to build foundational knowledge while older students dive into more advanced concepts such as international trade, monetary policy, and behavioural economics. The course structure adapts to your academic goals, supporting both foundational learning and deeper exploration of advanced economic issues.

Career Pathways and Skills Gained

Studying Economics at Oxford Summer Courses equips you with valuable skills for both academic success and future career pathways. For younger students (13-15 years), the course focuses on developing an understanding of key economic principles, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, preparing you for further studies in economics or business.
