The Oxford Tradition
All of our courses, regardless of subject area, are designed to introduce students not only to new subjects and skills, but also to the teaching and traditions of Oxford University. As much as possible, academic subjects provide students with the opportunity to enjoy an Oxford-style seminar conducted by a teacher who has experienced the Oxford teaching system. Every student has the chance to hear scholars of the kind that have filled Oxford’s halls for centuries. Above all, our philosophy is to put students in small classes to study exciting and engaging courses conducted by lively, caring, and imaginative teachers.
The Cambridge Tradition
Similar to the Oxford Tradition, Cambridge is the perfect location for enthusiastic, ambitious students to broaden their intellectual and cultural horizons. It is a place filled with world-renowned buildings, beautiful architectural features, and perhaps unsurpassed history, heritage and tradition. We aim to make it all supremely accessible to our students, introducing them to the many colleges, the bustling town and the enchanting local countryside.
