    Overview

    The Academic Insights program held at Oxford and Cambridge university colleges is a great opportunity for middle and high school students to explore in depth a  subject of choice, extend knowledge and skills, whilst living in undergraduate rooms and enjoying the ambience of scholarship around them. A lively schedule of visits and activities complements the study aspect to give a well-balanced experience. A summer program of this kind is a valuable addition to a college application.

    This residential program enables students to experience life as an undergaduate in an historic Oxford or Cambridge college. You will participate in an in-depth academic exploration from those offered of the subject of your choice. Daily seminars feature very small class sizes, in the Oxbridge style of learning, as well as one-to-one mentoring tutorials. As a complement to the study aspect, there is a full schedule of social and cultural activities, visits and lectures, and day trips at the weekends. This stimulating course is an enjoyable opporunity to get ahead and develop skills in your chosen field, and also a great way to meet new friends from around the world!

    • "This program was one of the best experiences of my life. I had never left the United States before I came here, but seeing Oxford made me want to travel the world. Of course, Oxford might just be an exceptionally beautiful city and this program, which allows us to experience so much of it, might be particularly incredible."

    • "This was one of the fastest months, and one of the best I've experienced! This, in my opinion, was a well-spent summer. It broadened my mind, allowed me to socialise with a group of fun and intellectual people, and taught me much about independence. After this, my level of summer expectations will be very difficult to satisfy."
