Oxford Summer Courses
Careers at Oxford Summer Courses
Oxford is at the heart of everything we do: it shapes what, where, and how we teach.
We run a summer school which will welcome over 2,000 motivated students aged 10-24 to Oxford in 2019, from more than 60 countries. Students can choose from a wide variety of academic subjects and English (EFL) courses.
Our goal is to share our experiences of Oxford, an exciting academic adventure, with the world. Alongside our courses in Oxford, we have expanded the Oxford Summer Courses model to Cambridge, India, Singapore, Chile, Peru and Stanford . We also run a charity Universify Education, providing free access courses to students from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK.
Our teaching is interactive and creative, and promotes a growth mindset approach. We teach in small classes, using projects to build students‚ research skills and taking lessons outside the classroom environment where possible. Above all, we value tutor autonomy.
Oxford Summer Courses has a growing academic faculty made up of students, academics, researchers and alumni of the University of Oxford, and many other top higher education institutions. Our expert tutors and highly-trained, enthusiastic pastoral staff are a vital part of what we do and how we shape our students' experiences.

Initiatives and plans from the company leadership would get nowhere without the dedication and hard work of the team. Every summer, a large team of permanent and temporary staff work tirelessly to ensure every student has a truly memorable experience. The head office staff have the student experience in mind from the beginning of the year as they start recruiting and training the tutors and course delivery staff that make it happen during the delivery periods. 11yrs into the job and it's as enjoyable and challenging as ever - we're a group that never stands still and is always looking for the next challenge! - CS
