About Oxbridge
Oxbridge began in Oxford in 1986, with the aim of giving bright and intellectually curious students a learning opportunity they could not get anywhere else: the chance to immerse themselves in subjects they are passionate about, guided by university professors and subject experts. With small classes, and some of the world's greatest intellectual and cultural hubs as backdrops, Oxbridge aimed to provide a world-class learning experience.
Four decades and many thousands of students later, Oxbridge continues to deliver a learning experience like no other. We now offer over 150 course options in five cities: Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Barcelona and New York. Our programs range from one week to four weeks and cater to students in grades 8 through 12. Whether students come to Oxbridge to deepen their knowledge of a subject they are already passionate about or to spark interest in a completely new domain, Oxbridge provides them with the opportunity to explore their chosen topic as it would be taught at university.
Oxbridge is not a summer extension to school. Our courses are specifically designed to be taught experientially, through discussion, debate, and experiment, and to culminate in student-driven projects and presentations. Crucially, our courses also make the most of the extraordinary cities in which they take place. Our instructors use the city as a classroom and our students have access to world-class institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, the Louvre in Paris, and the Ashmolean in Oxford. Our students can study in a college founded in 1284, conduct debates in Oxford's famed Union, shadow business professionals on Wall Street, refine their writing skills in the venues that inspired Zadie Smith and Ernest Hemingway, or discuss existentialism in the very cafes once frequented by Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. There is no greater opportunity to cultivate your student's intellectual curiosity than Oxbridge.
Who are our students?
Our students come from all over the world. Over the past five years, we have welcomed attendees from over 115 countries.
