Inspiring Oxford: Week 5 courses

Oxford University summer school at Brasenose College

Stay and study in historic Brasenose College.

Week 5: Sunday 2 August – Saturday 8 August 2026

Elevate your summer by exploring your passion in a dynamic and world-renowned university environment at our Inspiring Oxford summer programme.

All week-long courses are pitched at an introductory level for non-specialists aged 18 and above, and no prior knowledge is required.

Seminars are small and engaging (maximum 16 participants) and are led by friendly, supportive expert tutors who bring subjects to life through lively discussion and exploration. After class, wander through Oxford’s cobbled streets, unwind in the peaceful quads of Brasenose, or join our optional social activities to make the most of your Oxford experience.

Week 5 of our 2026 Inspiring Oxford programme has now taken place.  Sign up to our summer school mailing list to be notified when our 2027 summer schools open to enrolment.
