Want to write for us?

 

We welcome guest posts for our blog and/or mailing list on the subject of education, university guidance, international study, student experience and teaching best practice. What we are looking for:

  • Listicles (3 Reasons/5 Mistakes/10 Secrets).
  • How Tos’. A ‘How To’ needs to have clear objectives and conclusions. For example, How To Write A Course Syllabus.
  • X Things I Learned From …’ articles. Have you met an influential figure within education, seen or read something that has taught you something or have you attended an industry event that has given you important insights or lessons about university education? Then we’d love to hear all about it!
  • Round Up posts. Can you “theme” a collection of links (5-20) as a useful resource for students or academics?
  • Quote posts. We all need a bit of inspiration sometimes. Quote posts about teaching and studying success can be the perfect tonic to a tough week! Rather than just a list of popular quotes, can you reflect on what a quote means – how you do this is up to you.

WHAT IS OXFORD SUMMER COURSES?

We run 2 and 4 week academic and English Language courses for students aged 10 to 24 and we’re accredited by the British Accreditation Council – this means they have assessed and approved our courses, teaching and safety procedures. We’re a platform of 100,000+ subscribers with an international reach.
