University of Oxford - Sustainability & the Environment Summer School

Hosted at the University of Oxford, this immersive two-week summer school is for students aged 16 6 to 18. The programme focuses on climate science, sustainability, political leadership and innovation through academic workshops, expert seminars, collaborative case studies and hands-on learning.

Students work towards a Climate Innovation Charter and present at a UN-style Mock Summit as the course capstone. Participants engage in stakeholder mapping, policy debates and sustainability campaign design, and explore topics such as biodiversity loss, food security, water scarcity and climate justice.

The academic timetable includes core seminars and workshops (sample days show morning seminars and afternoon workshops/labs), expert masterclasses and group project time. Guest speakers and leadership mentoring are included, and the programme culminates in a graduation ceremony and certificate.

The programme is delivered on-campus at Oxford University colleges (students are allocated to colleges depending on age and programme). The fee shown is for full boarding sessions; accommodation, supervision and a range of cultural and social activities are provided.

International cohorts are welcomed and additional paid airport transfers (Heathrow) are available.
