Course Overview

STUDENT LIFE

How are our one-week courses different than our two-week summer course? Our one-week courses for 16-17 and 18-24 year olds are focused on giving you the tools to succeed in your chosen field, preparing you for university and beyond. You’ll receive 27 hours of teaching time over the course of one week, including professional development workshops, networking dinners, and trips led by your tutor. We’ve created a unique programme that balances intensive academic learning with social and cultural activities in Oxford, giving you the chance to explore all that the city has to offer.

ACCOMMODATION

Students on our one-week courses will get an authentic taste of the Oxford experience, all in one week. Study with world-renowned experts during the day, and stay in historic University of Oxford college accommodation by night. You'll even enjoy a three-course banquet in the stunning college dining halls, in the style of a University of Oxford formal dinner. Enjoy your time in Oxford while knowing that our group leaders are on-hand 24/7, making sure you’re well looked after at all times.

INSIGHTFUL ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES

Students take part in a networking dinner where they’ll dine with professionals in their chosen field. You’ll be able to chat about your shared academic passions, obstacles, opportunities, and more. Inside the classroom, you'll learn from teachers in small groups, focused on practical experience. If you’re studying medicine, you may practice suturing. If you’re studying marketing, you may manage a re-branding campaign.

EXCURSIONS AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES

Oxford offers a wealth of social and cultural experiences unique to this special and historic city. You'll be given a genuine taste of the city of Oxford through visits to historic colleges and intriguing museums. In the evenings, you'll have a chance to discuss great ideas with professionals and thinkers in your field of study, speaking with the experts about the things which drive you. We'll also venture further afield during a half-day excursion from Oxford, exploring all that Bath, Windsor, or Blenheim Palace have to offer.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SKILLS

During your course, you'll take part in a workshop centred around effective learning techniques. You may learn how to write a great research paper, or learn more effective methods to network within your industry. You'll finish the week with an end of course conference, during which you'll have the opportunity to present your work, and hear from others about theirs. This sharing of ideas is pivotal to the culture of learning here in Oxford - where ideas are shared, discussed, and debated.
