Develop your own creativity and examine that of others

Join us for a short course – in Oxford or online

Gain credit from short courses

Many of our short courses, including weekly learning programmes (both in Oxford and online) and some summer schools, can be studied for credit, which means they can count towards a recognised qualification such as our Undergraduate Certificate of Higher Education.
