Welcome
At Oxford Summer Programmes, we offer immersive educational courses for undergraduate or postgraduate students with English as a second language. Our students enjoy an authentic Oxford experience, with world-class, small-group tuition inspired by the teaching system characteristic of the University.
Experience oxford-style teaching
Our programmes are highly participatory and offer close attention to each student. This approach to teaching, inspired by Oxford University, encourages students to contribute to discussions, ask questions and clearly express their own ideas.
world-class academics
Every day you will hear lectures from, and participate in small seminars with, world-leading academics.
small group supervisions
We believe students learn better in small groups, in which they receive personal attention from academics and can ask them questions directly.
one-to-one writing tutorials
Our students also enjoy a personal writing tutorial with an academic to help challenge their subject knowledge and refine their writing technique.
applications are now open
Applications are now open for our Politics, Media and Culture Programme, which will run from 24 August – 7 September 2019.

enjoy an authentic student life
Students currently studying at Oxford University will be involved in classes and will lead a social programme which will offer you an authentic taste of student life at Oxford. Fascinating social and cultural activities, including visits to the theatre and trips to London and Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s birthplace), will immerse you in English language and culture. You can speak English all day, every day with many friendly native speakers!



dine in grand college halls
Over the course of our programmes, students enjoy several four-course formal dinners in beautiful mahogany-paneled dining halls, allowing them to sample luxury cuisine and converse with academics, course staff and fellow students.
