Imagine one student from the UAE, another from the UK, and one from India discussing learnings and points of view as a group. This is what a culturally diverse average day at The Oxford Summer Program looks like.

The Oxford Institute has been offering its prestigious summer program for almost two decades and has hosted students from 90+ nationalities. Oxford Experience 2026 is taking place once again, and this year we are offering 8-day (2nd to 9th August 2026) and 14-day residential camps (26th July to 9th August) at St Anne's College, University of Oxford. As always, we look forward to offering our students a highly personalized, truly international experience.

So, if you are a student above 12-19+ years of age, the Oxford Summer Program will be a truly transformative, once-in-a-lifetime experience for you.

The Oxford Summer Program revolves around three core pillars: Learning, Leading, and Lifestyle. Each aspect of our program design reflects these pillars.

Students immerse themselves in rigorous academics focused on two subjects of their choice. You choose the subject when you apply for the program. One is the major, and the other is the minor.

In addition, distinguished Oxford-affiliated academics, tutors, lecturers, and deans support students enrolled in the Oxford Summer Program. Small cohorts of students study under the guidance of expert tutors who deliver tutorials, provide individual feedback, and ensure that everyone in the cohort benefits from the program.

Moreover, we emphasize confidence-building and coaching in debating. Therefore, our classes move through active discussion amongst the cohort. Alongside this practice, students get special debate coaching at The Oxford Union. International students in the Oxford Summer Program specifically mention that our program helped build their confidence. Parents also report seeing this difference.

However, we are not just about rigorous learning and confidence-building. International students at The Oxford Summer Program, as well as those from a different city, get guided Oxford Tours and engage in exciting activities like punting. Our evenings are mostly filled with fun activities like ice-breaker sessions, movie nights, and karaoke.

All in all, think of Oxford tutorials that actually intellectually stimulate you, admissions counseling that actually helps with placements to dream schools, debate coaching from the same place where the British Prime Ministers learned, guided tours, and much more. So, enrol now and get ready for a holistic journey through Oxford.

Programme Overview

The Oxford Summer Program allows its international students to choose 2 subjects from almost 30 offerings, including Business, STEM, and emerging fields that spark curiosity, such as AI (Artificial Intelligence). Students will choose one subject as their major and another as their minor. Upon their arrival at St Anne's College, University of Oxford, students will have an academically immersive experience over the 8 or 14-day period. However, unlike traditional classrooms, our classes are driven by discussions, and our small cohort sizes ensure that everyone learns, receives our attention, and grows during their time at Oxford. Our tutorial system and lectures are tailored to each student. In addition, students receive Oxford-Union-style debate coaching, admissions counseling, and essay counseling.

Moreover, we don't compromise on the social aspect of the program either and ensure that students enjoy some fun time bonding together. Therefore, our evenings will be full of fun activities. Plus, punting on the River Cherwell and Oxford tours are on the bucket list as well. Make sure not to miss any of these.

Oxford Summer Program for International Students: Three Foundational Pillars

The Oxford Summer Program for International Students is built on three foundation pillars: Learning, Leading, and Lifestyle. Throughout the process of designing our program and subject outlines, we pay special attention to these pillars.

Lifestyle - Living and Thinking Oxford

Lifestyle - Living and Thinking Oxford

Students have access to the dining hall, accommodation, lecture rooms, tutorial spaces, and sports facilities at The St Anne's College, Oxford. Walking through the same hallways where some of the world's most impactful people, like Stephen Hawking, have stepped leaves an impact. Our alumni carry this impact with them well beyond the programme and feel inspired to make it big in life. The Oxford lifestyle emphasizes focus, discipline, curiosity, and critical thinking. Our cultural excursion activities ensure that students get to experience Oxford the way it deserves.

Learning - Studying The Oxford Way

Our alumni still praise the learning methodologies at The Oxford Summer Program. The tutorial teaching methodology has been central to Oxford for centuries. This technique is highly effective, and alumni of The Oxford University are a reflection of that. Moreover, students attend discussion-driven lectures being taught by world-class faculty. Admissions counseling for Oxbridge and other engaging seminars further highlight the learning aspect of our program.
