Our Approach to Summer Learning

At ��Ƕ��Ƶ, we believe that where you learn matters. That’s why we host our programmes in some of the most prestigious and inspiring college settings in Oxford and Cambridge—giving students the chance to live and learn in world-renowned academic environments.

Unlike traditional programmes, we don’t follow a fixed curriculum. Instead, our courses are shaped by our students. Our expert tutors tailor the experience based on each group’s interests, goals, and curiosity, creating a learning journey that’s as personal as it is powerful. To make our programmes even more flexible, we offer a range of tiered pricing options—so you can choose the experience that’s right for you, from accommodation preferences to extra support and services.

Studying at Lady Margaret Hall

Lady Margaret Hall (LMH) is a spacious and inclusive college in the north of Oxford, just a short walk from the city’s iconic museums, bookshops, and libraries. Founded in 1878 as one of the first women’s colleges at Oxford, LMH is now co-educational and known for its friendly community and academic excellence.

Our summer programmes hosted at are tailored for two distinct age groups. Students aged 13–15 engage in seminar-style learning in groups of no more than 8, with sessions designed to introduce them to independent thinking, discussion, and collaboration. For ages 18–24, we offer a more advanced tutorial-style model, with students completing two pieces of independent work and exploring them through in-depth 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials.

Who Studies Here and How They Learn

Each age group at LMH benefits from an academic model suited to their stage of learning. Courses for 13–15-year-olds focus on foundational academic skills, group tasks, and the confidence to share ideas. Tutors lead interactive sessions that blend exploration, research, and discussion.

Students aged 18–24 work more independently, following the Oxford-style tutorial method. After participating in small-group seminars, they complete two written assignments (essays or problem sheets) and discuss their work in tutorials. This model encourages self-directed thinking, personal feedback, and deeper subject exploration. All students receive a certificate and letter of recommendation upon completing their course.

Accommodation and Facilities

All students are accommodated in single bedrooms on the main Lady Margaret Hall site, providing a secure and comfortable base throughout the course. For students aged 13–15, rooms typically include ensuite or shared bathrooms (1 between 4 students), with full pastoral care and supervision in place. For students aged 18–24, rooms may include either ensuite or shared facilities, depending on the building allocation. These older students enjoy more independence, though on-site support remains available as needed. All rooms include bed linen and towels, and kitchens are not accessible in line with college policy.

The college’s spacious layout and riverside grounds offer a relaxing environment for both study and social time. Students have access to on-site dining, laundry facilities, and common areas for group interaction. With its large central quadrangle and quiet green spaces, LMH provides a peaceful yet enriching setting that helps students recharge, connect with peers, and enjoy the rhythm of college life during the summer
