Unlike most universities, Oxford teaches students in small groups of two to four students. This can feel intense at first, but these small groups provide a fantastic opportunity to develop intellectually and to engage directly with a world-class academic. Our programme offers a chance for students to experience Oxford-style tutorial teaching from leading academics. This challenging course not only provides a chance for students to improve their academic English skills but also creates pathways for independent self-study and enhances critical thinking.

Tutorials can tackle many topics based on expertise and student interest. Previous teaching have shed light on Linguistics, Literature, Finance, Philosophy, Economics, Machine Learning, Medical studies and many more.

Induction

Kickstart your journey with skills-focused sessions led by Oxford academics. These workshops cover essential academic tools, giving you the foundation needed for success in tutorial sessions. Students also get a chance to meet current Oxford students in a question-and-answer session, where they can explore first-hand accounts of the Oxford and tutorial learning experience.

Tutorial sessions

Engage directly with subject experts in small groups, where every student is encouraged to voice their ideas, challenge concepts, and deepen their understanding. Each group follows a structured syllabus over 7 weekly sessions, covering core readings and guided discussions tailored to their academic interests.

Academic Support sessions

Students will also have the opportunity to meet with Academic Support Tutors. These sessions are designed to assist students before each of the required assessments. In these sessions, skills and expectations for the assessments will be discussed, students can submit any work they have prepared for discussion, or bring questions they may have to the session.
