CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
WHAT MAKES OXBRIDGE SUMMER SCHOLARS UNIQUE?
Full Immersion at Oxford and Cambridge
Oxford and Cambridge are world-class institutions steeped in tradition. Students will participate in activities usually exclusive to Oxbridge undergraduates and will be exposed to dynamic teaching methods developed and perfected at these two institutions. We also provide specific introductions to Oxbridge’s academic curricula and facilities.
Readiness for Future University Education
Led by an elite team of academic staff who graduated from the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, we incorporate university readiness into all our activities. While encouraging students to delve into their academic passions at Oxbridge, we help participants set individualised and achievable goals to prepare for top UK universities.
Global Community of Ambitious Students
We believe in the importance of community at Oxbridge Summer Scholars. Students will not only form a global network of like-minded program participants but will also meet current Oxbridge students and alumni. Through talks presented by our guest speakers from Oxbridge, we aim to inspire students and help them build a community of changemakers and scholars.
Academic Excellence
At Oxbridge Summer Scholars, we push students with academic ambition to achieve even higher. We provide a mixed teaching method of fieldwork, seminars, lectures, lab work, and even mock Oxbridge admissions interviews to give students a taste of what it is like to study at a rigorous academic institution. Our esteemed faculty, experts in their field, lead interactive sessions that promote student-driven learning.
