Get ready for a pre-college summer experience at the #1 university in the world: the University of Oxford. You’ll spend one week at Oxford’s beautiful Worcester College campus, and one week at University College London, with the fascinating international city of London at your fingertips. Dive into your favorite subjects with projects and trips to discover new professional opportunities, connect with leading experts, and learn how to sharpen your college applications.
In Explorations at Oxford + London, you can dive into one of these compelling topic areas:
- Business, Law + Politics
- Architecture, Art + Culture
You’ll grapple with complex issues like climate change, increasing global and regional tensions, and AI regulation, while sharpening your critical thinking, communication, and debate skills through table-top role plays, case studies, site visits, strategy games, and negotiation. Or you can immerse yourself in the art and architecture of these two historic cities, visiting world-renowned cultural sites and museum collections and gaining skill in digital design, photography, and curation. The advisors, speakers, and faculty in Explorations at Oxford + London are passionate and accomplished experts in political science, history, humanities, economics, and more.
The University of Oxford is the #1 ranked university in the world (Times Higher Education), and the oldest English-speaking university. Behind its walls lie 26 acres of landscaped British gardens and stunning architectural feats. Known as London’s global university, University College London is a hub of creativity located in the Bloomsbury district in the heart of London, close by the renowned British Museum.
Have Summer Fun
Worcester College gives you easy access to the city center of Oxford, and you’ll have free time every day to explore it with new friends. Eat breakfast and dinner in the Worcester dining hall, and spend your lunch break out and about in Oxford.
