Provider Overview
Academy Royale International, formerly Oxford Royale Academy, is one of Oxford's best known summer schools, offering students from all over the world a truly authentic taste of student life at some of Oxford's finest colleges. Boasting an outstanding academic faculty that consists of expert academics from Oxford, Cambridge and other top UK or US universities, academic progress is at the heart of Academy Royale International's mission. In addition to core classes, students also benefit from guest lectures from world-renowned thought-leaders, such as Baroness Shami Chakrabarti, Professor Richard Dawkins and Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE. Students live, dine and study on campus in some of Oxford's most prestigious colleges, experiencing life as Oxford undergraduates and enjoying all that Oxford has to offer.
Despite its focus on academia, Academy Royale International doesn't neglect the fun side of summer school: outside of class, students enjoy a well-rounded extracurricular experience including local excursions and events. It is possibly Oxford's most international summer school, hosting students from more than 175 nations each year and thereby offering a truly international summer school experience.

Academy Royale International FAQs
Are airport transfers provided?
What level of English is required to attend one of your programmes?
Where will I be staying?
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.
