Learning

Outline

Join our advanced Environmental Science summer school at Oxford Summer Courses, tailored for ages 18-24. Explore Environmental Science with us. Learn about various environmental topics, including the study of interactions between physical, chemical, and biological processes, as well as environmental pollution, conservation, and natural resource management. Dive into discussions about sustainability, climate change, and environmental justice. Equip yourself with the skills needed to address environmental challenges on our Environmental Science course. Set and reflect on goals with our support, participate in Q&A sessions, gain industry insights, explore career paths, understand the Oxford and Cambridge tutorial system, and visit diverse Cambridge colleges for a comprehensive 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

For the 18-24 age group, independent study becomes a key component, allowing students to explore topics beyond seminars and develop their own ideas. Industry insights discussions and future pathways sessions offer valuable career guidance. Evening socials, diverse activities, and college visits contribute to a well-rounded Cambridge summer school experience, ensuring a holistic approach to personal and academic growth.
