Learning
Outline
History Summer School at Oxford Summer Courses for ages 18-24 years. Study history with Oxford Summer Courses. Learn the legends of history – what made countries famous, why wars were fought, and how the most influential leaders rose to power. Through a mix of solo study and collaborative group sessions, you’ll explore ancient, medieval, or modern topics that are full of lessons for today, such as the fall of the Roman Empire, the Industrial Revolution, or the Cold War. We’ll also cover analysing different sources, sorting factual accounts from biased ones, and strengthening our debating skills as amateur historians. From Medieval to Modern Times, explore a selection of classic artefacts, texts, and landmarks as we take an exciting journey through some of the most fascinating periods of time. Additionally, set and reflect on ambitious goals with our support, participate in tutorial Q&A sessions, and gain industry insights through discussions with experts. Explore future career pathways, understand the Oxford and Cambridge tutorial system, and visit diverse Oxford 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 Oxford summer school experience, ensuring a holistic approach to personal and academic growth.
