Gap and university preparation courses are held in Oxford, benefitting from the scholarly and cultural ambience of that famous city, with summer courses also offered in Cambridge, and internationally.
The Oxford Gap Year is an ideal preparation for college-level study and enables students to pursue chosen subjects in depth and at a comfortable pace, exploring topics of interest. Held at a leading independent college, there’s a rich subject choice, taught by skilled tutors.

These cover a range of topics in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Maths : Art, Film, Literature, Languages, History, Politics, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Law, Economics, Business & Marketing, including exciting courses such as Ethics & Rhetoric.
A varied cultural and visits programme complements the study element, giving a sense of community and helping to develop an understanding of the UK. Oxford, home to England’s oldest and most prestigious university, provides an historic and inspiring backdrop.
Students may work on college applications, with help from the the college guidance team, or use their time in Oxford to decide on what direction to take next.

Many international students apply to a British university. If you haven’t completed high school or have under-achieved, you will need to sit the Advanced Level (GCE) exams (A-level). This is the normal route to qualify for UK university. Three subjects are usually studied over one or two years, with good pass grades in two subjects being the minimum requirement.
An A-level pass is regarded as equivalent to courses taken in US college freshman year and may merit college credit, permitting exemption from a college course.
The following subjects are offered at A-Level :
Science – Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science.
Economic & Social Sciences – Economics, Business, Sociology, Psychology, Politics.
Humanities – English Literature, Film Studies, History.
Creative Arts – Fine Art, Photography, Textile Design, Graphic Communication.
Languages – French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese.
Please contact us to discuss A-Level options.
The IB Diploma is a recognised qualification for university study around the world and offers a well-rounded curriculum. For international universities, it is often the preferred entrance route. Study of a range of subjects encourages a variety and breadth of knowledge.
Six subject areas are chosen, three at higher and three at standard level. Subjects include Literature, Language (including a second language), Social Sciences, Sciences and Mathematics. The curriculum includes three core elements that provide additional academic specialisation. These are the Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service).
The IB Diploma gives international currency and is ideal for those wishing to keep their university subject options open. It’s an excellent route for those who prefer to study broadly and to apply to international universities.
