Students at our International Summer School will enjoy an unparalleled learning experience, designed to equip them with the skills needed for the world of university and to shape future careers. Our two-week academic timetables consist of 40 hours of lessons in career-focussed subjects, combining engaging workshops, seminars and group projects. All of this takes place in the truly inspiring academic environment at our leading universities in Oxford, Cambridge, London, Yale and Berkeley.

Our Summer School programs are designed by experts in their respective fields to give students the ultimate educational experience. We carefully build timetables, making sure that every moment comes together to turbocharge our students’ entry into their chosen subject.

We ensure that students who attend our Summer School programs develop crucial academic skills, and have a summer to remember. Our programs include exclusive activities including events, exciting excursions, and social and sporting activities to ensure our students get the most out of their stay in their university locations. Some examples include:

Not only will students have the chance to live and study on campus at one of the historic colleges of Oxford University, they will also have the opportunity to experience the culture of the city, such as punting along the river or exploring the Ashmolean Museum.

Student welfare is our number-one priority. We do everything within our power to make sure that their summer is a safe and happy one, and the Oxford Royale teams have been recognised nationally for this commitment.

We pride ourselves on the exceptional level of pastoral care we provide to our students, made possible by the expertise and experience of our staff. They are supported by our robust system of welfare policies and procedures that has been developed over two decades of providing successful summer programs.

“I had been to Oxford before, but now I am truly experiencing it. Seeing all the different colleges and campuses is absolutely amazing, as well as the city itself. It is great to see such old architecture still being used today, and being able to actually study here is amazing. My favourite memory was just walking around and exploring the city with friends.  ”

Edoardo, Italy

“Oxford Royale gave me an insight into a university course I was very interested in and helped me decide I wanted to do that for sure. Apart from the great academic programmes, the activities in Cambridge were extremely enjoyable and unforgettable. I really recommend Oxford Royale to everyone who wants to gain an insight into what university is like.”

“The Oxford Royale programme is very professional. That’s probably the word I would use to describe it the most. It is also so much fun, because it allows us to explore the city and experience what it is like to be an independent student in the UK. I feel like I have made friendships that I will pursue in the future and never forget. ”
