Before you apply

  • Check the actual Oxford teaching venue, accommodation address and travel arrangements. A course taking place in an Oxford college is not, by itself, evidence that the University of Oxford runs or endorses it.
  • Check age eligibility and any academic prerequisites for the exact session, not just the overall programme.
  • Ask what feedback students receive and what they will study, practise or produce. Ask whether students work from a set brief and how they test or refine their ideas. Check which software, materials and equipment are supplied.
  • Confirm current dates, fees, cancellation terms and what is included with the provider before applying.
