Alongside this, the city attracts media businesses, from production companies to game designers – a unique and stimulating environment for anyone looking to stand out in the fast-paced world of the media.

Our Tutors

Our media studies tutors are well versed in the world of today’s media, so on this Oxford-based summer course you’ll be learning from some of the best.

If you come to study this media summer course in Oxford then you’ll you have a much more interactive way of learning to look forward to. Don’t expect to sit and listen to theory for the duration, because rather than follow a stiff, pre-set syllabus, the teaching is far more involved.

Aside from weekly seminars, you’ll be encouraged to produce your own piece of work. This gives you the opportunity to explore the specific areas of media that interest you most – which will then shape the content of your studies. All the while, you’ll receive more intimate tuition – as we use the world-renowned tutorial system from Oxford University. This gives you more one-to-one time with your tutor, as well as plenty of opportunities to discuss your work critically with fellow students. This way, you go away with many transferable skills.
