The Oxbridge Summer Scholars (OSS) programme is designed for 16-19-year-old students who aspire to attend top universities in the UK or the US.The OSS Junior Programme (Be inspired!) is designed for students aged 13-15 who are fluent in English and academically ambitious.
Our tutoring on all programmes is delivered by experienced lecturers/tutors holding degrees and postgraduate qualifications from prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, and the other G5 universities.
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.
To select the most suitable stream and modules, carefully explore the programme details for each stream. Consider your academic interests and the subjects you envisage studying at university.
If you are unsure about your choices, we strongly recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our academic advisors. They can provide in-depth information about the programme and guide you in making informed decisions aligned with your goals.
Making changes to your stream or module less than 60 days prior to the program start date will incur a rebooking fee of GBP200. Please note that if you change your course start date, the cancellation policy will apply to the original start date.
