SUMMER SCHOOL
The OXCAMP residential summer school is an important part of the OXCAMP mentorship scheme. It is a collaborative effort between OXCAMP and some colleges in Cambridge and Oxford aimed at providing opportunity for our talented students to live and study in such a unique environment. It is a four week intensive programme which aims to inspire and motivate the students to work hard and be competitive for admission and scholarships to Cambridge, Oxford and other top universities where they would be able to develop their talents and become leaders in their chosen fields. The summer school is also designed to help participating students to develop their skills, get to know each other and build networks that would useful for their future. During the four week period, students will be taught by our highly accomplished teachers in various subjects such as medicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, philosophy, international politics, law, psychology, forensics and creative writing. There will also be talks by invited guests and leading academics, as well as visits to departments, libraries and historical sites and towns in the UK.
