Your application needs to be accompanied by a signed, academic recommendation (or reference letter) from one of your professors or advisers certifying your suitability for the Summer School. Before you arrange this, check whether your home institution has a partnership arrangement with St Peter’s College and will send this on your behalf; or whether you need to arrange and send the recommendation yourself. The recommendation should be on your institutional letterhead and can either be mailed as soon as possible after an electronic application, or accompany an electronic application if it is available in electronic format.

Email all these as attachments to: admin@oxsummerschools.co.uk For any application issues, please contact OASST Director, Charles Addison here at: charlie@oxsummerschools.co.uk

Most of our partner universities assist in the selection, application and registration of students and some also manage the transfer of funds to Oxford on their behalf. The professor encouraging your application or your university’s Study Abroad office, International Office, or equivalent will advise you.

Successful applicants, leading to the Offer of a Place, will be notified as soon as possible, and, by the very latest, Monday 30th March 2026. Later applications might be considered if there are still places available.
