In-person short courses and events

Join us for face-to-face learning

From single day events and summer schools to short courses that meet weekly

Explore a topic in depth over one or two days or extend your knowledge over several weeks with a weekly class or lecture series. All are designed for adult learners.

  • In-person weekly classes: studied on a weekly schedule, these courses are all taught at either Ewert House in Summertown or at Rewley House in central Oxford during the day or evening. Some weekly classes also include field trips. Many are accredited at university level and can be studied for academic credit (CATS points).

  • Lecture series: enjoy a weekly series of lectures on a given topic in the Lecture Theatre at Rewley House, Oxford. The majority are also livestreamed online.

  • In-person day and weekend events: explore your curiousity with an inspiring event led by an Oxford academic or guest expert. Events include enriching day schools, walking tours, immersive workshops and thought-provoking lectures. Some events are livestreamed so you can watch online if you can't attend in person.

  • Summer schools: join us for a study holiday in Oxford – for personal enrichment, academic progression or professional development. Explore a favourite topic while you discover the world’s most famous university city.
