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.

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.
