Economics at a Summer School in Cambridge
The study of economics at top UK universities is very different from how economics is presented as a school subject, whether it be taught via A levels or in the IB. Firstly, a high level of mathematics is required, and secondly, an understanding of the relationship between economics and society is essential. The OSS Module in economics serves as an introduction to both macro and microeconomics and also discusses issues such as the problems of developing economies and the benefits and limitations of economic modelling.
Module in the Business, Economics and Entrepreneurship (BEE) stream
OTHER BEE STREAM MODULES
While it is not possible to study business at undergraduate level at Oxford or Cambridge, many other top UK universities offer exciting courses in business and it is from these universities that OSS draws its tutoring talent.
Business
There is a great deal that can be learned about the challenge of being an entrepreneur, and the OSS module in entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship
Founded in the 13th century, the University of Cambridge is one of the world’s most prestigious institutions, comprising 31 historic colleges.
Cambridge’s interdisciplinary science degree in Humanities is world-renowned, but Cambridge is also a popular choice for students of law, engineering, and computer science.
At Oxbridge Summer Scholars, we provide aspiring students the unique opportunity to experience the academic environment that has shaped leaders in these fields.
Please note that while we draw inspiration from the esteemed traditions of Oxford and Cambridge, we operate independently and are not formally affiliated with Oxford University, Cambridge University, or any other university facilities.
CAMBRIDGE 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.
