Best Parents: International Relations and Politics at University of Oxford Campus

This two-week International Relations and Politics summer programme takes place on the University of Oxford campus and is designed for inquisitive teens aged 13-15. Students engage with political theories, governance systems and contemporary global issues through small-group lessons, seminars and masterclasses led by experienced tutors.

The course emphasises interactive learning: debates, teamwork, conflict-resolution exercises and reflective sessions support academic development and critical thinking.

Students stay in college accommodation (options range from day-student to Premier residential tiers) with full-board meals provided for residential participants. The programme includes structured excursions and cultural outings - examples listed include the British Museum, Tower of London, Bath, Blenheim Palace and the Ashmolean Museum - to deepen historical and political context and enrich the learning experience.

Every participant receives written tutor feedback, a certificate of achievement and a personalised letter of recommendation. Practical arrangements such as scheduled Heathrow transfers (staffed between 09:00 and 16:00 on official transfer days), on-course pastoral support and clear daily timetables are provided to ensure student safety and a supportive environment for learning and personal growth.
