Description: Study Abroad Programmes : Summer, Semester or Year in Oxford.

We arrange study abroad programmes for individuals and school or college groups. These are generally taken in the summer, but year round programmes are also available. There is a very wide range of subjects - humanities, languages, sciences, social sciences, business subjects are all offered. Students normally take two subjects and can change their subjects during their stay, subject to agreement.

In the summer the programmes are taught in the beautiful setting of the University of Oxford, and cultural visits and excursions are offered. The facilities of some of Oxford's libraries are available throughout the programme.

Some students take this programme to enhance their existing studies and possibly gain accreditation from their own school or college. Others see the Oxford programme as an exciting way to widen their cultural and educational experience. And some students love the city so much that they take the programme in order to enter a British University, especially Oxford or Cambridge.

If you are considering their programme, please write to us first with full information about your present studies and future plans, and we would be pleased to offer you advice.

Programmes for students preparing for British Boarding Schools or Universities:

We teach over twenty different subjects, including the Humanities, Languages, Social Sciences, Sciences and Business Subjects.

A student preparing for a British School of University would normally combine tuition in English Language at the appropriate level with three to five academic subjects. The balance of subjects is designed to meet the needs of each student. Normally s/he would receive 20-25 lessons a week, depending on the subject mix.

We assist a small number of students in applying to Oxford or Cambridge Universities. These universities have interviews and entrance tests in November and December. We offer advice on college choice, as well as interview practice and preparation for written tests at interview.

We provide tuition for the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) examination, which is the main examination for international students wanting to enter a British University. Preparation for Cambridge and TOEFL examinations is also available. The IELTS programme may be combined with (I)GCSE or A-Level preparation, if the student also needs to take these examinations.

For younger students we offer preparation for Boarding School entrance tests and interviews (usually verbal or non-verbal reasoning, together with English and Maths) and also pre-GCSE and pre- ALevel programmes.

We have excellent links with a many British Schools and Universities, and we are also able to arrange guardianship for younger students.

English Language Programmes:

These programmes take place year round, both for groups and individuals. In the summer older students are taught in the University. All courses train students to communicate clearly both in written and spoken usage.

We welcome all age groups and levels. Students are assessed on the first day, and there are four main courses:
Group tuition (20lessons a week)
Intensive Programme (30 lessons a week)
Combined Programme (20 lessons + 5 or 10 individual lessons)
Private tuition (10,20,or 30 lessons a week)

We advise students on the best programme for their needs before arrival.

Our English programmes include :
General English
Junior English
Business English
Academic English
Specialist programmes, e.g. for Law, or Medicine, or Teachers

Highlights: The programme offers you the opportunity to study in the beautiful medieval university city of Oxford. It is available year round, but in summer it is possible to reside in the university itself.

The programme combines seminars and site visits to places of cultural interest such as Stratford, Warwick and London. It is the opportunity to both learn and to broaden your horizons.
