Program Description:

Oxford Encompass provides 2, 3 and 4-week enrichment programmes for students aged 16-19. Enrichment programmes are designed for students who aim to study in a world-class university. Courses are residential in Oxford, England.

Each student works with an Individual Learning Mentor to identify, and achieve, their life and learning goals. Students visit Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell-group universities in the UK, and meet admissions tutors and current undergraduates and graduates. Advice and guidance is given on all aspects of the university application process in the UK. Students develop their core management and presentation skills by working on projects drawn from academia, the arts and heritage industry and the business world.

Through individual advice and guidance, university visits, and meeting current undergraduates and graduates, students have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their higher education choices. Through innovative and exciting project-based-learning, students develop their essential core skills in presentation and management.
