What’s life like at the oldest university in the English speaking world? Your Oxford summer school is hosted in historic residential colleges where you will experience authentic undergraduate life.

Sleep in bedrooms set in centuries-old quadrangles, socialise in student common rooms and relax in breathtaking gardens.

Most of our accommodation sites offer a mix of single and twin bedrooms. Some campuses have en-suite bedrooms while others have bathroom facilities shared between a small group of same-sex students.

Meals

Breakfast and dinner are included in the course fees, but lunch is included only for students under 16.

If you have any dietary requirements you must let us know at least 60 days in advance of your course start date so that we can cater to your requirements.

All meals offer a vegetarian option (which must be booked in advance). We are not always able to provide special Kosher or Halal food as a dining option; students with these dietary requirements will sometimes be offered the vegetarian option, so you must let us know in advance what foods you cannot eat.

All medical dietary requirements such as lactose intolerance and any food allergies must be reported to us at least 60 days in advance of your course start date so that we can ensure you receive the correct meals.

Pocket Money

You should bring enough money with you to cover the cost of any snacks, drinks or souvenirs you may wish to purchase. Prices vary depending on where you shop, so it's a good idea to plan your budget in advance. If you plan on doing a lot of shopping, you may need to budget slightly more.

£150 Weekly (This includes approximately £10 per day for lunches for ages 16-18 )
