LIST OF SUBJECTS
The Oxford Institute Summer Program offers students a unique opportunity to experience life as an Oxford University student. Participants stay in university accommodations, dine in college halls, attend courses led by Oxford scholars, and immerse themselves in the vibrant facets of student life. Reflecting Oxford’s collegiate system, our small student batches are designed to ensure personalised attention and tailored teaching approaches.
Students select two subjects from an extensive list as their major and minor, taught in small tutorial groups using Oxford’s renowned tutorial teaching methodology, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:3. This approach allows students to understand, develop, and explore their true passions. Equal tutorial time is provided for both subjects, but for the major, students are expected to write an essay, which is reviewed and marked by their tutors.
See below for the list of subjects on offer.
