Oxford Scholastica Academy - Online Psychology & Neuroscience Course

Oxford Scholastica's Online Psychology & Neuroscience Course is a live, tutor-led summer programme for motivated 15-18 year olds. Delivered via Zoom, classes run daily with two hours of live tutorial time (1-3 PM UK time) plus independent study, and are capped at a maximum of 15 students to ensure personalised feedback.

The course explores topics including memory, learning, emotions, personality, neuroimaging, the ethics of psychology and practical research skills. Students can choose one- or two-week options: the two-week course includes approximately 20 hours of live teaching plus masterclasses, practical research sessions and a final presentation.

Teaching is typically delivered by academics from universities such as Oxford and Cambridge; participants receive detailed personalised feedback and can be considered for a Letter of Recommendation for outstanding performance. On successful completion students receive an Oxford Scholastica Academy Certificate of Achievement, access to a Graduation event (recording provided), and an invitation to the Ambassador Programme.

The programme is aimed at school-aged learners preparing for university applications and those wishing to deepen their understanding of psychology and neuroscience.
