Located in the historic university city of Oxford in the South of England, Oxford Encompass provides summer enrichment courses for students ages 16-19 from around the world. Designed for those who aim to study at a world-class university in the UK or abroad, our enrichment programmes are 2, 3, or 4 weeks in duration.

During their enrichment course, students will learn more about studying, living, and working in the United Kingdom. Advice and guidance is given to students on all aspects of applying to university in the UK, from making the right choice, to negotiating the UCAS system and writing a personal statement.

During each summer course, students visit Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell-group universities and have the opportunity to meet admissions tutors and undergraduates. Every student is assigned their own individual Learning Mentor, who helps them to identify their life and learning goals, and achieve them.

In addition, students gain valuable life and work experience by engaging in a project, drawn from academia, the arts and heritage industry, or the business world. Students can choose a project that reflects their own interests, and this project-based learning develops students' core skills in presentations and management.

As well as at least 30 hours of tuition a week, students participate in a full programme of social events & excursions, with visits to London & Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-on-Avon, as well as other iconic English destinations.

Summer Enrichment Programmes:
