The OSP Distinction
Not just another summer program
Many programs use Oxford’s name. Very few deliver the intimate cohort, confirmed college residency, and career-focused mentorship that OSP provides.
Oxford Residency
Scholars live and study inside the centuries-old walls of Oxford colleges, experiencing the culture of one of the world’s greatest academic institutions first-hand.
Small By Design
Limited to 100 scholars globally, our programme ensures every student is known by name and receives individual mentorship from our academic team.
Global Networking
Forming bonds with high-achieving peers from 40+ countries creates a personal network that spans the entire globe before university even begins.
