Our 2-week University Summer Courses 2018 on the Oxford University campus feature a range of pre-university academic subjects, including Medical Biology, Law, Philosophy, Politics and Business. These pre-university courses enable students age 16-18 to explore and develop their understanding of new subject areas, living and studying in Oxford University.

Led by our first-class teaching faculty and ancillary staff, students also learn how to take notes, attend university-style lectures, join teambuilding exercises and, naturally, have a lot of fun!

Our General English and Intensive English courses are designed to help students make rapid progress in English, and focus on the four key language skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking – with lots of additional work on vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

Our Academic Year programme enables students to significantly improve their English level, study skills and their chances of entering a UK university.

This course is very flexible with a range of different options, and is always tailored to the needs of the student. For example, if a student already has a good level of English and wants to focus on academic skills (perhaps Writing or IELTS), these study elements will be built into the student’s individual programme.

This course has been designed for business professionals who use English at work, are already at B2 level or higher in English, and need to expand their knowledge and ability.

• 1-4 weeks (more, if required)
• Designed for business professionals
• Strategic boost to English usage in the workplace
• Range of study options available
• Specialist business areas covered by request

Our Junior Summer School provides a memorable experience for students from all over the world, blending first-class English language tuition with masses of fun in a unique environment.

Now in its fifteenth year the Summer School has been hugely successful, gaining an international reputation and each year attracting hundreds of students from across the world.

Our 2-week teacher refresher courses are for overseas teachers of English who would like to update their knowledge of methodology and teaching materials, and to broaden their linguistic and cultural awareness.

The course explores recent and current theory and practice, focusing on methodology, materials and advanced language analysis. It also includes a range of social and cultural activities. The training style is interactive, with workshops as well as presentations, and intended to promote discussion.

This course is aimed at non-native speakers who have experience of teaching English and hold a teaching qualification from their own country.

Our Insight into the UK Tourism and Hospitality Industry course combines high level training in Business Communication with a unique insight into a range of British tourism sectors: luxury travel, city breaks, language tourism and 'staycation'.

• lovely vibrant area with lots of shops and cafes

Most of our students choose our homestay option. Living with Oxford residents is a great way to learn more about the UK and British culture, and of course it's a lot easier in many ways than living in an apartment, as the host does all the food shopping and cooking, the cleaning, and even your laundry!

We have around 300 homestay families in and around Oxford. Every homestay is different and we always do our very best to place students in a homestay that matches their needs as closely as possible – though of course, to do this we need clear and accurate information from students at the time of booking.
