The Oxbridge online summer programme is a two-week course, designed for academically ambitious students who wish to progress to one of the UK’s leading higher education institutions, including either Oxford or Cambridge (known collectively as Oxbridge in the UK), or other top universities such as London School of Economics, Imperial College London and Durham University.

The programme includes 1.5 hours per day of interactive, online tutorials, plus additional academic content to be completed independently.
