Learning

Outline

From broken bones to terminal illness, learn how the body shuts down and recovers on our Medicine course. You’ll learn everything from the toes up, whether it's anatomy, physiology or infectious pathology. Prepare to branch out into medical ethics, answering critical questions and citing real life case studies for an immersive learning experience.

Teaching methodology

Learning in a small group (no more than 8 students and often fewer) means that you get quality time with your teacher and ask as many questions as you like! Through interactive learning, our teachers will guide you through new concepts and assign you practice tasks to build your knowledge and skills. You will also have an opportunity for group work, independent research, and homework assignments to be discussed in class. Small classes mean everyone gets to have their say, and students learn from debating with one another, as well as from their tutor.

The Summer Courses experience

Hosted within the hallowed halls of Cambridge Colleges, students delve into subjects under the guidance of experts, fostering curiosity and critical thinking in a diverse, multicultural setting. The fusion of social activities and academic pursuits nurtures independent growth, complemented by empowering masterclasses and university fairs. 'Insider info' handbooks assist students in maximising their free time, while a gradual increase in freedom accompanies them through different age groups. This inclusive and welcoming environment encourages independent thinking, allowing you to explore your passions freely. Discover subjects you love without the constraints of traditional expectations, providing abundant opportunities for both personal and academic growth.

Alexandra, Greece

"The course at Oxford Summer Courses gave me an insight into how to make arguments in support of or against certain positions, which is useful in Law. The tutor assisted me in how to structure these arguments during my summer school."

Alexandra , USA

"The best thing about the Medicine course at Oxford Summer Courses was the interactivity of the lectures. My tutor was really interested in the subject, so I always felt like I could go up to her and ask her questions, whether they were about what we were learning in the summer school or about other areas of biotechnology."

Allysa, USA

"The teachers at Oxford Summer Courses summer school are very inclusive, and the teaching groups are small. It is also refreshing to see everyone in the class as passionate as I am."
