Economics for High School Students — University of Oxford Campus

This two-week summer programme, held on the University of Oxford campus, is designed for high school students aged 16 67 who want a rigorous introduction to both micro- and macro-economics. Students explore markets, competition, business performance, global trade, government policy, inequality and sustainability in small seminar groups and through guided discussions.

Teaching mirrors Oxford's tutorial model: classes are delivered in small seminars (no more than eight students), with two independent assignments (essays or problem sheets) discussed in 1:1 or 2:1 tutorials. The course includes seminar discussions, Q&A sessions, guest speakers, college visits, an academic skills masterclass and a university fair.

Every student receives a certificate of achievement, detailed tutor feedback and a personalised letter of recommendation on completion.

Students are housed at Somerville College in single bedrooms (shared bathrooms), with bed linen and towels provided. Meals are half-board (breakfast and dinner provided; students purchase lunch). The programme includes a range of UK excursions and scheduled Heathrow airport transfers (staff welcome students at designated points between 09:00 and 16:00).

Multiple pricing tiers and session dates are available for Summer 2026.
