Weekly classes
Join us in Oxford or online
Our popular weekly classes offering now comes in two formats. If you're local, you can join us in person, in Oxford. If you're not local or would prefer to take the course online, now you can!
- In-person weekly classes: courses of 5, 10 or 20 weeks duration. Teaching takes place at Ewert House in Summertown.
- Weekly Oxford Worldwide (WOW): These ‘online – live’ courses are taught completely online and have scheduled, live-time meetings to attend. Live-time discussion and Q&A take place via an online platform. Additionally, some courses may have recorded lectures to enjoy. Each WOW course has 6, 11 or 21 meetings, which includes an introductory meeting to introduce you to the online platform.
From each course page you can toggle between the in-person and online versions of the course by clicking 'other runs of this course' under course details.
Please note: enrolments may close up to one week prior to the start date of the course. We recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.
