We pride ourselves in offering an
academically stretching and enjoyable summer school. Each year, we ask our
students how they found their time with us, so we can hear all about their
experience and any suggestions they have. In 2011:
76% gave their
Academic Tutors marks of "5 out of 5" (with
the rest "4 out of 5")
91% would "recommend us to a friend", with
55% "strongly" recommending us
96% of students said they understood more about
what life and studying at a university such as Oxford is all about
100% felt that they had learnt a lot from their
tutorials

John and Oksana, parents of Maxim (Molecular Medicine 2011)
“We are very pleased with Maxim's performance in the summer school. He certainly gained a lot from it and really enjoyed his two weeks. We were very impressed with the academic and social programme you had set up and also all the detailed organisation. It was also great to be able to follow the school in the blogs and on twitter...We will certainly recommend the course to our friends.”
Marieke, mother of Costas (History, 2011)
“Thank you very much for the report you sent on Costas' performance during his two weeks in Oxford. He arrived home last night, feeling tired but also very excited. He had a great time and commented on how friendly and professional everybody was.
We should like to thank everybody on the team for making these two weeks such a memorable experience for Costas. His sister...has already stated she wants to go when she is older!”
Suzanne, mother of Angelos (Molecular Medicine, 2011)
“I would like to thank you and your team for the hard work you have put in to the summer school. Angelos and his friends have returned very enthusiastic and, as well as the tremendous intellectual challenge and stimulation offered by the course, they have made many new friends.”
Lynda, mother of Joe (Engineering, 2011)
“Thank you, to you and the team for making this such a great positive experience for Joseph. Thank you also for keeping us parents updated – we really enjoyed reading the daily blogs which, being overseas, enabled us to keep in touch. Will definitely be recommending the course to others – fantastic!”
Chris, father of Sarah (Molecular Medicine, 2011)
“Sarah had a fantastic time and has now decided that Oxford is where she would like to study…Thank you so much to you and your team for giving Sarah such a fabulous two weeks.”
