About our Rankings
Each year, the Oxford Summer Courses Guide produces a table of rankings for summer schools taking place in Oxford. Our rankings are objective and unbiased, looking at a range of criteria to establish the provider category and score. At the heart of our rankings are the quality of tuition, the experience of Oxford, student welfare facilities, the cultural programme and more. We use a range of tools to evaluate providers, a key part of which are student reviews from alumni.
