A choice of 44 accredited one-week courses in a variety of subjects
13 July to 10 August 2013, Rewley House, Oxford

Join people from the UK, Europe and further afield for enjoyable, yet serious study with some of the finest tutors in the country. For over 100 years the Oxford University Summer School for Adults (OUSSA) programme has been making it possible for everyone to take advantage of the Oxford system of expert tuition in small groups. Our 2012 students’ comments provide one of the best insights into the programme:

''A wonderful experience which will be in my mind for the rest of my life.''

''It has been a very enriching experience – a kind of utopia of learning, reflection and new friendships. I will be back.''


''I loved the whole experience! I had a wonderful tutor and the social activities were fantastic.''

''The programme is the best of its kind with the balance between time spent studying the course, social events and enjoying the beauty of the University.''

During the summer school there are opportunities to visit Oxford's many sights. In 2012 students attended curator’s tours of art exhibitions, fine wine tasting with the University’s champion ‘blind taster’, as well as walking tours to Christ Church for Evensong.

Above all, at OUSSA, you will meet interesting people, develop new ideas and immerse yourself in learning. To learn more about the summer school, scroll through the programme’s webpages which are accessible to the left of this page.
