When is the 2025 Summer School?

Saturday 28th June 2025 – Saturday 2nd August 2025

How do I apply?

You can either start by contacting the Study Abroad Office at your home institution if your university has established links with our programme. You can also apply yourself here if you wish to secure your place earlier in the application process

What do Visiting Students study?

Undergraduate Visiting Students generally choose courses that align with those offered to Oxford undergraduates. Typically, it’s not possible to enroll in subjects without prior university-level experience. If you’re unsure, just ask us!

What subjects are available to undergraduate Visiting Students?

Visiting Students can study any course available within the undergraduate courses here.

What are the entry criteria?

Each application is evaluated on its own merits, considering various factors, including:

• Academic performance at the home institution
• Relevant pre-university qualifications
• Strength of academic references and personal statement
• Suitability for study at Oxford
• Alignment between the Oxford course and the home institution’s curriculum

Applicants should demonstrate academic standards comparable to full-degree students. Typically, successful candidates will have a GPA of at least 3.7 on a 4.0 scale (for North American students) or an equivalent strong 2:1 UK degree classification (for students with different grading systems). Each application is assessed based on the available information and in relation to other applications. Extracurricular activities are not considered.

Visiting students must also meet the relevant English language requirements for undergraduate admission.

What qualification will I receive as a Visiting Student?

While Oxford does not confer a degree or formal qualification for your time as a Visiting Student, colleges however can provide a record of your studies for credit purposes at your home university and that is what we provide; a tutorial record of your study with your final grade which U.S Universities transfer into credit. If necessary, we can confirm your status as a Visiting Student for employment purposes.

How much does it cost to be a Visiting Student?

Tuition fees for Visiting Students are consistent, regardless of nationality or residence.

I’m receiving/hoping to receive financial aid from my home institution, is this ok and what if the final balance payment due date is too soon for financial aid. Can you help?

Yes, just inform us early in the application, we want to help you with your application and won’t penalise a student who is qualifying for financial aid to miss out if the payment schedules don’t match perfectly.
