What is a typical day like?
We want you to make the most of your time in Oxford, so you’ll have a packed schedule while you’re with us. Your days will be filled with inspirational academic sessions, enriching cultural experiences and a variety of social activities. Discover what a typical day with us looks like here.
How early should I apply?
There is no fixed deadline as we assess applications on a rolling basis until we’re full. We have a limited number of places which tend to become fully booked early in the year, especially for our more popular courses. You can view our availability on our application form.
How do I secure my place?
Please click here to apply for your place and pay your deposit (£995). Our admissions panel will assess your application and will be in touch to confirm whether you have been accepted onto the programme. If for any reason you’re not accepted, your deposit will be refunded in full.
Can I apply for more than one course?
Yes. Each course lasts for two weeks and you can apply for up to two courses (spanning four weeks) to deepen your learning and explore multiple interests.
What's included in the fees?
The total fee includes all your classes, accommodation on the Oxford University campus, trips to Windsor Castle and Blenheim Palace, cultural and social activities, your Certificate of Achievement and Letter of Recommendation, as well as breakfast and dinner each day.

The only elements not included in the fee are your lunches (you’ll be able to explore Oxford with your new friends over lunch) and, if you’re travelling from abroad, your flights and airport transfers (we can help to arrange transfers from the airport).

Are there scholarships available?
Rather than offering a small number of full-course scholarships to our programmes, we maximise our impact by delivering thousands of hours of free mentoring and academic guidance each year. You can read more about our social impact here.
Are you officially connected to Oxford University?
No. There are no Oxford summer schools affiliated with Oxford University. Whilst we use Oxford University facilities, and a number of our tutors teach or study at the university, it’s important to understand that we have no formal connection with the University of Oxford.
Where are the other students from?
Our students come from different locations in the UK and all across the globe to join us in Oxford. Over the years, we’ve taught young people from over 85 different countries, including Brazil, China, the USA, India, the Netherlands, Malaysia and more.
