Fancy studying PPE in Oxford? Explore Philosophy, Politics and Economics on campus, join small Oxford-style tutorials, hear guest lecturers, build academic skills and critical thinking - boost your uni and career prospects on a two-week programme.
PPE for High School Students is a two-week summer programme held on the University of Oxford campus designed for high school students aged 16 6-7. Participants explore Philosophy, Politics, and Economics through interactive seminars, Oxford-style tutorials in small groups (maximum eight students), guest lectures and academic skills masterclasses.
The course balances academic study with enrichment activities and aims to develop critical thinking and preparation for further study. Students stay (for residential options) at Somerville College with tiered accommodation choices or attend as day students.
The programme includes guided excursions to cultural and historical sites, structured academic sessions, supervised study blocks, and social activities. Day students follow a structured daytime timetable with drop-off in the morning and pick-up in the evening; residential options include half-board meals.
Airport transfers from London Heathrow on official arrival/departure days are included in the programme price. On completion students receive a certificate of achievement, personalised tutor feedback and a letter of recommendation to support future applications.
Booking is via the course website: pay the camp deposit, complete the Enrolment Form sent by email, await booking confirmation and pay remaining balance. Families are advised not to book flights until booking confirmation is received.
