Monday
- Breakfast
- Subject seminar(Tap for more)
  Your seminars are taught by your subject tutor, and each lasts 3 hours with up to 8 students in the class. The syllabus that your tutor has prepared is based on their expertise and designed to immerse you in the subject. There will be no more than 8 students in your seminar group, perfect for gaining a valuable insight into what Oxford-style learning is all about. Prepare to contribute to the class throughout, discussing new ideas, working on challenging questions and learning from your classmates as well as your tutor. In such a small group there is nowhere to hide, but no need to worry about making mistakes either - this is the best way to understand concepts in depth and the work is designed to challenge you.
- Lunch
- Excursion
- Seminar preparation(Tap for more)
  A fair amount of time is put aside for seminar and tutorial preparation - students are expected to work hard during their course with us, and independent study outside of face to face teaching time is vital to this. We have therefore made sure to demarcate sufficient time for students to be able to do this work.
- Dinner
- Evening activities(Tap for more)
  Oxford Summer Courses is so much more than study. Beyond the books, there's a world of entertainment and culture to explore. We believe in a work hard, play hard ethic, so while you’re on one of our courses you can enjoy the balance of achieving your academic goals, while enjoying a fun, fulfilling experience with new friends at your side. From cultural events to sightseeing, you’ll be making memories at every turn. Outside of your enriching lessons, workshops, and tutorials, there will be plenty of time for you to get to know the other students on your course. One of the best parts about studying with Oxford Summer Courses is the people you meet and the friends you make, so we want to make sure you have every opportunity to do this. As part of your organised timetable, social activities will be delivered by your group leaders; these could include anything from traditional university activities like punting, to ghost tours around the city centre.
