The specific programme will vary depending on the age group of your summer school course. If you are attending one of our week-long Spring courses, there is a greater emphasis on professional development workshops and academic networking specific to your subject area. Your free time outside the classroom will include exploring the city of Oxford, such as visits to historic colleges, a formal banquet, and a chance to go punting on the River Thames, as well as discussing great ideas with professionals and thinkers in your field of study during your Oxford Summer Courses summer school.

Summer School Technology Requirements & Screen Policy

Yes – you’ll have access to WiFi networks that function where you are staying and studying at the summer school. There are also often WiFi networks available throughout the city where your Oxford Summer Courses are located.

Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptop if they have one (make sure that you bring the right charger!). It is possible to complete all of our summer school courses without a laptop or similar device, except for Computer Science, but it is recommended that students work as they would at university, which for us means using laptops. Oxford Summer Courses does not provide laptops, and you are responsible for the safety and security of your hardware, although all students have access to a lockable space. If you bring any valuables, please ensure you have the relevant insurance.

We want students to enjoy their time with us and make the most of the summer school courses that they are enrolled in; making new friends, taking part in activities, and studying with top teachers. We feel this is best done without the distraction of phones and personal electronic devices (PEDs), and we encourage our students to be mindful of this. While students are permitted to bring phones and PEDs to dinner, activities, and day trips, our staff will encourage them to interact with others to build great friendships rather than use their devices. As with all personal possessions, our 13-24-year-old summer school students are responsible for their own devices. Our 9-12-year-old summer school students are allowed to bring their phones when they join us; however, all of the Juniors sites operate a ‘restricted screen-time’ policy. Students will have their phones and PEDs for specified periods during ‘free time’. This is time that is set aside from study and group activities for students to hang out with their new friends or call home. Our highly trained staff will ensure that all phones and PEDs are collected and safely secured outside of ‘free time’ and day trips. Robust procedures will ensure that students remain safe and contactable throughout their time with Oxford Summer Courses.
