Both in class and during social activities, our students will interact with young people from across the globe who are following the same educational pathway. Building a network of likeminded students at a young age offers a significant advantage for our students.
Key skills in the study and practice of law are communication, collaboration and confidence. Our course is specifically designed to provide key subject knowledge, but also in-class and extracurricular opportunities to help grow these skills through group projects and practical law simulations.
A city that has inspired countless leaders throughout history, Oxford is the perfect environment for young learners to start their journey with law. The University of Oxford has produced top international lawyers, including Amal Clooney, Tony Blair and Elena Kagan.
Students will explore a wide range of topics including Public law, Criminal law, Tort law and Contract law, allowing a broad introduction to the study of law, but also providing fascinating subject matter to engage students with their learning.
In hands-on practical simulations, our students will learn to think like a law student as they undertake investigations into real-life cases, applying their newfound knowledge into practice.
The perfect way to end a law course, our aspiring lawyers will team up to utilise their new skills to take part in a mock trial, working from a real life case study to see the trial through from investigation to verdict.

“I’ve never studied Law before, and I actually wanted to study it as I want to study Law in college. I wanted to have an introduction to the subject to see if it fits me, and I love the course. I love how we all communicate about what we think, and depending on our culture and where we come from we have different opinions, and both sides are usually right!”Manon, France
“This course has definitely helped me on my path to becoming a lawyer. I would say that most people in my class are as ambitious and determined as I am, and this makes me feel motivated when I see them trying so hard! The people I have met here have inspired me to work harder, study more and do more research.”Sasha, Russia
“I have done some other summer schools in the past, but this one was certainly the best. Not only have I learned so much from the lessons themselves, I have made so many friends, had so many experiences, and I am now sure that I want to study abroad. It was incredibly beneficial to learn about different legal systems, and the same with different political opinions.”Edoardo, Italy
