ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITHIN THE BEE STREAM
By selecting Entrepreneurship as a core module in the Business, Economics and Entrepreneurship (BEE) stream, you'll gain a wide and clear perspective on the role of different types of entrepreneurial activity in business, helping you pinpoint the specific topics and interests you want to pursue in university.
Combined with the programme's Economics, Management, and Business modules, you'll develop a strong interdisciplinary foundation for your future academic success.

Entrepreneurship at a Summer School in Oxford
Are entrepreneurs born or made? It is not possible to study entrepreneurship at top UK universities, perhaps because there is a belief that an entrepreneurial outlook is something that comes from within rather than being something that can be taught. Nevertheless, there is a great deal that can be learned about the challenge of being an entrepreneur, and the OSS Module in entrepreneurship, taught by a mix of academics and those with genuine entrepreneurial experience seeks to provide an understanding of both the wide range of entrepreneurial opportunities that exist, and the challenges for those seeking to develop their own start-up companies, whether in the tech area, online or on the high street.

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.

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.
Economics
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.

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.
