Summary

Experience Academy Royale International's summer programs at Oxford and Cambridge, offering students a chance to dive into prestigious academic and cultural enrichment.

Academy Royale International began in Oxford in 2004 with one goal: to give students an outstanding academic summer in historic university colleges.

More than 20 years and 50,000 alumni later, students aged 12 to 18 from more than 175 countries come to Oxford and Cambridge to explore future degree subjects and build the confidence to shape their future.

Choose your subject You pick one two-week course from more than 20 subjects, including medicine, law, business, engineering, psychology, AI, architecture, film and international relations.

Students aged 16 to 18 can also take Broadening Horizons, where you build your own timetable from two academic subjects and one skills workshop. The curriculum is the same at both campuses. How you learn You learn from several specialists, not one teacher.

Guest lecturers bring expertise from academia and industry, and your class lecturer helps you question and debate each perspective in small-group seminars. You then apply what you’ve learned through practical challenges, from pitching a business to performing CPR or arguing a mock trial.

College life In Oxford, you stay at Balliol, St Peter’s or St Catherine’s College. In Cambridge, you stay at Clare College on the River Cam.
