Build Your Own Study Experience

Oxbridge Academic Programs has been offering summer study programs to adventurous middle and high school students for 40 years. We are based in some of the world's best universities and in historically and culturally significant cities in England, France, Spain, and the United States. Depending on the program, students choose up to two subjects–a Major and a Minor/Workshop–from a range of more than 150 options, all taught by university teachers or established professionals. Beyond the classroom, students have access to a wide range of elective extra-curricular activities, including sports, guest speakers, museum visits, field trips and university workshops.

Our students experience life and study in some of the world's greatest and most fascinating cities.

What People Are Saying About Oxbridge Academic Programs

It was a big decision and undertaking to send our 16-year-old daughter from New Zealand to Oxford, she could not have travelled further! However, the experience that she had far exceeded all of our expectations, both in terms of the exposure she had to learning and the academic staff as well as the experiences and friendships made.

Oxford Tradition Parent

Thanks to the Cambridge Tradition experience, my daughter is much more mature, has a better knowledge of how to live abroad without her family, and she's better prepared for university! Her time at Oxbridge reaffirmed that she wants to study architecture and now she has all the skills to reach her goals.

Ana Maria

Cambridge Tradition Parent

Our daughter had a wonderful experience, and she found the Psychology and Genetics courses engaging and useful. She learned new things, made friends, and had 4 amazing weeks! Many thanks to your entire team for making this possible!

Oxbridge Parent

Our daughter loved the Oxford Experience program. She enjoyed her Major, made nice friends, and really began to feel more independent and confident while exploring beautiful Oxford. A great experience through and through and just what we all were hoping for! In fact, she is already talking about participating in the Cambridge program next year.

Daniel

Oxford Experience Parent

Just wanted to reach out to thank you for helping to make my daughter's summer spectacular! She returned on Saturday and has clearly grown from the summer experience.

Sanjeev

Oxbridge in Paris Parent

Thank you for making my son's experience at Cambridge so memorable! Usually reserved, he talked the whole way home from the airport about what he learned in class, the friends he made, and the museums he visited. My son was initially a bit reluctant to attend a two-week course, but at the end of the second week - he was sad it was ending so quickly!
