The Original Oxford Summer School, Still Leading the Way
Oxford Royale began over 20 years ago with a single vision: to create
exceptional academic experiences in the historic colleges of Oxford.
That vision has since evolved into a global portfolio of programmes hosted on campus at some of the world’s most distinguished universities, including Cambridge, Imperial College London, Yale, and Columbia. With over 50,000 alumni worldwide, Oxford Royale continues to set the benchmark for academic enrichment - inspiring ambition, cultivating confidence, and preparing students for success at university and beyond.
Step Inside the Oxford Royale Experience
Oxford Royale offers more than a summer course — it’s a complete immersion into curiosity, inspiration, and global community. Students live and study on campus at world-leading universities, explore subjects through lectures, interactive workshops and real-world experiences, and grow in independence, confidence, and purpose — equipping them to make informed choices about their future and excel in university applications.
