Summer courses are based on the main campus of Oxford Brookes University, in the attractive Oxford suburb of Headington. Classes, meals and sports are conveniently all available on one site.

English lessons
Our summer English course will rapidly improve your level of ability in a short amount of time. With a maximum of 15 students per class, you will enjoy learning through exercises focusing on speaking and listening. School teachers are highly qualified and students receive 20 lessons per week in English each week, divided into 4 lessons per day. There are mixed nationalities in each class. In the very first English class, students are asked to take an English test. The test includes writing, vocabulary and an oral interview.
