Philosophy, Politics & Economics Summer Programme in Oxford

Immerse Education’s Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) Summer Programme in Oxford is a two-week, intensive academic course for students aged 16-18. Delivered at Oxford University colleges, the programme combines small-group tuition (7-10 students), 1:1 tutoring, and a self-directed research project to develop critical thinking and analytical skills across philosophy, politics and economics.

Teaching is led by tutors with strong university credentials (PhD-level instructors and university lecturers), and the course includes 40 hours of teaching, guest-speaker sessions, and personalised feedback. Residential participants stay in Oxford college accommodation (13 nights), enjoy daily meals, and take part in social activities and two full-day excursions (Cambridge and London).

A certificate of achievement/attendance is awarded on completion. Multiple sessions are available in summer (including July-August dates for 2025 and 2026) and both residential and non-residential plans are offered.

The programme is aimed at students preparing for further study in the humanities or social sciences and who want university-style academic experience and evidence to strengthen university applications.
