How many hours of tuition are provided?
In the UK students will receive 20 hours of teaching per week, and outside of classes will enjoy a number of enrichment activities. In the USA, our students will have up to 17.5 of teaching hours per week, alongside extracurricular enrichment activities.
What visa do I need and how do I get it?
You can go online and check your visa requirements by visiting the useful Check if you need a UK visa tool from the UK government. Students from European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not currently require a visa to enter the UK to attend our academic or English language courses. We recommend that students keep checking this page - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visiting-the-uk-as-an-eu-eea-or-swiss-citizen - for further information and updates. Oxford Royale Academy recommends that registered students who require a visa to enter the UK apply for a Standard Visitor visa (details here), which authorises students to attend a short course of study (including English language programmes) in the UK. Students attending our Summer Schools in the USA may be able to enter the United States on the Visa Waiver programme. You can find out whether you qualify for this by using the online Visa Wizard on the US Travel website – select the ‘study or exchange’, then ‘recreational program’ options. You will not require a student visa, but a standard visitor visa.
Where will I be staying / what is the accommodation like?
Our students will be staying in actual university accommodation. Most of our accommodation sites offer a mix of single and twin bedrooms. Some campuses have en-suite bedrooms while others have bathroom facilities shared between a small group of same-sex students. In some campuses, students have the option to pay our ‘En-suite Reservation Fee’, which entitles students to an en-suite room should one be available at their campus. Contact our Admissions Team for more information. Sharing your room with fellow students is a great way of getting to know people and making friends. You can also request to share a room with someone you know studying the same course as you, though this is not guaranteed and must be done in advance of the course.
Will I get a certificate?
Our students will receive their Oxford Royale graduation certificate at the end of their course, and will also receive a full, personal report on their academic achievement.
