The six-week Summer Programme at Exeter College, Oxford is a unique opportunity to experience undergraduate life at the oldest university in the English-speaking world.

While the aim is to challenge and inspire you by engaging with Oxford’s world-class reputation for academic excellence, as a student on ECSP you will become part of a diverse and supportive community which combines a commitment to academic excellence with a lively social scene.

Exeter College welcomes applications from students of all academic disciplines and backgrounds who are currently enrolled in full-time education and have a minimum GPA of 3.3, or equivalent.

Academics

Oxford was declared the world’s number one university for the fourth successive year in the 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings and is the only UK University ever to top the international rankings, sustaining its position through the outstanding quality of its research, teaching and innovation.

Defining the pace and style of the Programme are cross-disciplinary lecture courses offered in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. We also offer the opportunity to work 1-to-1 with an expert in Oxford on a subject of your choosing (the Individual Research Tutorial). The tutorial system, one of the key strengths of the Oxford undergraduate education, brings students together with faculty in small, discussion-based groups. Such personalised attention ensures you get direct, expert guidance as you undertake in-depth study in a chosen academic subject.

There is no fixed academic path: you choose any two courses from those on offer.

Whatever your interests – music, theatre and musicals, D&D, museums and galleries, popular culture, LGBTQ, sports, baking, social enterprise, sightseeing or shopping – we’ve got it covered!
