Students should select the Academic Course which they intend to study and then express an order of preference for its various Options (only one Option will be studied). Students will nearly always be allocated to their first choice Option but applications are made on the understanding that the need to ensure small tutorial groups may make acceptance of a second choice necessary.
Most of our partner universities assist in the selection, application and registration of students and also the transfer of funds to Oxford on their behalf. Your professor or university Study Abroad / International Office encouraging your application will advise you. You can apply directly online here by completing and returning the following forms to the contacts on the contact us page available here on our APPLY page
Fees for the Summer School in 2026 are £8,255 GBP including meals and accommodation and all tuition, Bodleian Library registration, day excursions, field trips and social events and includes the Four-Day Field Excursion to Wales. This Excursion is included for all students applying to the academic programme, regardless of their course choice. Some of our partner institutions will require you to apply through them and will organise your fees. We advise checking with your study abroad office first. You can apply directly here too below.
Successful completion of the 5-week Academic programme leads to the award of 6 credit hours, subject to regulations of the student’s home institution and the Course studied. Partner universities automatically accept transfer credit. There an additional 2 credit hours available for students who submit the optional essay based on the 4 Day Wales Field Excursion.
Evaluation of student performance, based on Oxford criteria but with American grading systems in mind, is the responsibility of Course Tutors who will provide a written graded assessment. Two printed statements of the student’s performance are provided, one for their university registry and one for personal use. Oxford does not award a degree or any other qualification for a period of study as a Visiting Student, but study abroad programmes are willing to provide a record of study undertaken, for example for credit purposes at the home university

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.
