Students joining Oxford Royale on campus at Barnard College, Columbia University will enjoy an unparalleled learning experience, designed to equip them with the skills needed for the world of university as well as future careers. Our career-focused subjects combine engaging workshops, seminars and group projects. All of this takes place in the profoundly academic environment of Columbia University.
Oxford Royale’s summer programmes 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 empower our students as they embark on pursuing their chosen subjects at a higher level.
Oxford Royale’s teachers – often lecturers and graduates from highly reputable institutions – inspire students to excel and prepare them for their university applications and career aspirations by learning more about the range of specialisms within their field.
Students will not just be taught in a traditional classroom setting, but will learn in a myriad of ways. This includes independent research, undertaking group projects with their international classmates, academic and practical workshops with experts in their field, and an immersive Challenge Day – a unique opportunity to apply their skills to a real-world scenario.
Every evening students will have the chance to take part in our Public Speaking and Debate Society to develop confidence and communications skills, all culminating in our debate grand final. Students will also enjoy enriching seminars, such as our ‘Shaping Your Future’ series and guest speakers discussing important modern issues.
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 programmes.
Oxford Royale has been awarded the RoSPA Silver Award for our health and safety practices. RoSPA has been running for almost 100 years, making vital changes in legislation surrounding accident prevention. We are delighted by the continuing recognition of the extensive lengths we go to in ensuring all our students, teachers, and staff enjoy a safe time while they are with us.
The summer courses are run by an exceptional and experienced staff, led by our Programme Director. The Director is supported by a team of Counsellors who ensure that students are looked after culturally, and socially during their programme, as well as meeting any pastoral needs. Each campus has dedicated members of staff who are residential throughout the programme and are able to assist students at any time, day or night.
Safety, happiness and inclusion are woven into the fabric of our summer programmes.
