MEET THE TUTORS & FACILITATORS WORKING & LIVING SPACES
Live and relax in the colleges of Oxford University itself, located at the heart of the city. Our programmes develop a sense of independence and provide a taste of University life in Oxford.
Work in a broad range of environments, from intimate classroom spaces to larger seminar rooms. In the Summer, the beautiful quadrangles and lush gardens of their colleges are very popular for reading and relaxing.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture and heritage of Oxford University. The colleges and the buildings within them are centuries old and each have a unique story to tell; from rooms that were occupied by J.R.R.Tolkien and C.S.Lewis, to garden walls ridden with bullet holes of the English Civil War.
