About

In 2022, Worcester College decided to start offering its certificate programmes to students from high schools and universities as well as professionals, so that we could share our educational excellence with the world. Since then, hundreds of participants have joined us here in Oxford, with some coming back more than once in just these last few years. This is due to our commitment to only having scholars of Oxford and Cambridge as our instructors, and our team being almost exclusively made up of current Worcester staff and students. This means our courses always deliver cutting edge academic content, coupled with having the best in local knowledge for all of our activities and excursions in and around Oxford.

We offer most of our programmes in the university vacations so that our participants can stay in the college in the rooms usually used by students. Our main times are therefore the Easter (March/April) and Summer (June-September), with applications tending to close around three months before. We send all participants everything they need to know beforehand so they are fully prepared for both their studies and cultural activities in Oxford. In addition to our main programmes for students at high school and university age, and profesionals, we also offer tailor made programmes for partner universities, schools, and organisations such as think tanks.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at a participant in our certificate programmes, and would welcome hearing from you at enquiries.cpc@worc.ox.ac.uk
