The Oxford College Summer School is a pre-university programme for ambitious students aged 15–17 in the historic centre of Oxford. Accredited by the British Council, it combines advanced subject study with the skills students need for top universities, in a city shaped by centuries of scholarship.
In 2027 students join Future Scholars, choosing the Sciences strand (medicine, biomedical sciences, neuroscience and pharmacology) or the Humanities strand (law, politics, literature and history). Learning runs for 25 hours a week in university-style seminars of up to 15, with clinical simulations, mock trials and parliamentary debates, an Admissions Masterclass and a final Future Scholars Showcase.
Outside the classroom there is a full programme of afternoon, evening and weekend activities, from sport and creative workshops to quiz nights and house events, plus excursions to London and around Oxford.
Students study and live in the heart of Oxford, surrounded by historic colleges, libraries and museums, from the Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Camera to the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers museums, the University Parks and the Botanic Garden. The city is compact and safe, with easy transport links to London and the Cotswolds.
Teaching takes place in university-style seminar rooms and lecture spaces. Residential students stay in historic college accommodation within walking distance of their classes, in single, twin or triple rooms depending on the building, with common rooms, laundry, Wi-Fi and 24/7 pastoral care.
Meals are served in the college dining halls, with hot and cold options every day, fresh salads and fruit, vegetarian and vegan choices, and allergy-friendly meals on request.
