WITHIN THE SIT STREAM
By selecting Computer Science as a core module in the Science, Innovation, and Technology (SIT) stream, you'll gain a wide and clear perspective on the tech/STEM area, helping you pinpoint the specific topics and interests you want to pursue in university.
Combined with the programme's Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics modules, you'll develop a strong interdisciplinary foundation for your future academic success.
Physics
OTHER SIT STREAM MODULES
As those keen to pursue a career in engineering know well, it is not just one subject but many. A career in engineering offers the prospect of working with materials from nano level to major structural projects.
Engineering
Maths is both a popular choice among international students aiming for top UK universities and it is also a prerequisite for studying many other subjects at university, including engineering and economics.
Mathematics
The University of Oxford, founded in the 11th Century, is the English-speaking world's oldest university. It is located in the city of Oxford and is comprised of 39 colleges and 4 private halls.
Oxford is particularly renowned for its unique degrees in PPE (Philosophy, Politics, & Economics), Economics & Management, as well as its unsurpassed Classics programmes. It has educated many UK prime ministers as well as international leaders and inspiring figures such as Malala Yusafszai.
Oxford’s science is equally impressive, with the UK Covid vaccine having been produced by a team of Oxford academics working in collaboration with AstraZeneca.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY
Tutorials
Oxbridge is renowned for its tutorial system. Small groups of students engage in in-depth discussions with tutors, exploring specific topics and research questions. This interactive approach is replicated in the OSS programme, with classes limited to six students for focused debate and analysis.
The most common form of interactive teaching in UK universities is the seminar, in which an expert tutor guides a group of students in discussion, based on reading and material delivered in lectures. At OSS, seminars are attended by all the students enrolled in a specific stream, typically around 10-12 students per stream. Seminar discussion is encouraged by pre-reading set by the tutors and by lecture introductions to each class.
Seminars
Lectures
Universities typically offer lectures, in which tutors convey both factual and interpretative material economically to a large audience. OSS keynote lectures are interdisciplinary and feature leading experts presenting cutting-edge research that Introduces students to new approaches and ideas that may challenge conventional thinking.
TEACHING STYLE
The universities of Oxford and Cambridge are renowned for their distinctive teaching methods, designed to foster independent thinking and critical analysis. OSS offers students the unique opportunity to experience these world-class teaching approaches firsthand.

FAQ
A stream is a broad academic area that combines related subjects. For example, Stream A "Science, Innovation and Technology" would encompass disciplines (modules) like Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering.
A module is a specific subject of study within a stream. It provides focused learning on a particular topic.
Core modules are the fundamental subjects within a chosen stream. When selecting your programme, you'll pick three core modules from the available options that align with your academic interests.
Additional modules offer flexibility. You can either choose a fourth module from your chosen stream or explore a module from a different stream to broaden your learning experience. You can choose two additional modules for your programme, although we cannot guaranteed that you will be able to study all the modules you have selected.
You can apply online through our website by completing the application form and submitting a personal statement outlining your interest in physics. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
