Medicine Scholars is a one-week summer school for 12-14-year-olds hosted by Oxford Summer Courses at Harrow School.

Students experience structured evening socials and 24/7 pastoral support from trained staff. The course offers both residential and non-residential (day) options, with different inclusions depending on the package.
All participants receive a certificate of achievement and written tutor feedback on completion. The programme is delivered in English and welcomes applicants without formal entry requirements who are curious about medicine and health science.
