Academic Information

Every Weekday from 9:30 to 17:00, students will be engaged in rigorous academics in a subject of their choice, taught by experts of that field, and tutored by Oxford students.

Lectures

Tutorials

Tutorials

All students will attend a combination of Lectures and Tutorials.

Lectures are delivered by one lecturer to a class of between 40-50 students, and will focus on covering the academic curriculum of a specific course. 

Lectures are engaging and tightly packed with information, so that students can gain a basic understanding of the topic before moving on to explore it more thoroughly, either individually or in tutorials. 


All Lectures will be delivered by current or former Oxford Tutors or 

Post-Graduate students.



Tutorials

Tutorials

Tutorials

All students will attend a combination of Lectures and Tutorials.

Tutorials are delivered in extremely small classes, with one tutor facing a class of 3-5 students. The tutor will engage the students in debates and discussions, go over assigned work, and give students a chance to interact with topics more thoroughly. 


With classes of this size, students will have the opportunity to constantly interact with their tutors, and tutors will be able to spend more time and energy on each individual student, maximizing the amount of knowledge that a student can take away from a lesson.


All tutorials are delivered by former or current Oxford students and scholars.

Seminars and Speakers

Outside of tutorials and lectures, there will be optional seminars and speakers events daily.

Seminars tend to be focused on specific aspects of studying, like how to write good essays or how to become a better public speaker.

Speaker events will bring in famous scholars or speakers from various fields to present their expertise to the students.
