Oxford Study Courses - World leading educational experiences: Oxford Study Courses delivers short academic programmes and exam revision courses around the world. Established in 1990, we have been supporting students at every step of their IB Diploma Programme for the past thirty years, working with experienced teachers renowned within the International Baccalaureate community.
Our students not only gain knowledge to build towards academic success, they also gain independent thinking, the ability to collaborate and communicate with peers from different cultural backgrounds, and acquire leadership skills that are required by an increasingly complex world.
About Oxford Study Courses:
We give you the best chance to succeed through your programme of study because secondary education is at the heart of all of our courses. In fact, Oxford Study Courses was founded in 1990 by a passionate International Baccalaureate (IB) teacher who acknowledged and searched for solutions for the challenges faced by IB Diploma students in particular.
Our courses are therefore designed to accompany students throughout their academic and personal development journey. Our summer and exam revision courses have been strongly focused on the IB Diploma curriculum for thirty years, a Diploma programme that is well known for its academic rigour and its international dimension. We have since launched a Discovery course to students from all backgrounds and curricula to help them discover their potential.
