International Development Oxford summer school at Oxford Summer Courses for ages 16-17 years. Study International Development with Oxford Summer Courses. Our world is more connected than ever. Yet, the poorest countries still struggle with poverty, and migration is now one of the most widely debated topics. Explore all the significant issues our world faces today and in the future on our International Development course. We’ll explore what it means to be a ‘developed’ country, the gap between developed and developing, and the role of globalisation. Take your place as a citizen of the world by exploring where global inequality comes from, what shapes a country’s development, and how the international community can help (or hinder). Set and reflect on ambitious goals with our support, engage in tutorial Q&A sessions, participate in an academic skills masterclass for critical thinking development, explore future career pathways through expert speakers, attend a university fair to meet representatives from various universities, and have the chance to visit different Oxford colleges for a comprehensive Oxford summer school experience.
