Oxbridge Online Group Research is a group tutoring programme led by an expert academic from the University of Oxford, Cambridge, or an Ivy League university. The combination of subject study and academic research project development help students hone the skills they need to succeed in higher education, while also gaining UCAS points with their research for university application.
This programme is designed for students who want to enhance their personal research and study skills in preparation for university, whilst also developing deeper knowledge in their chosen field. Led by expert academic tutors from Cambridge or Oxford University, students explore university-level topics with peers from around the world in virtual classrooms of no more than 10 people.
Each student will undertake a research project in a topic of their interest at university-level. All programmes include 5 hours of research skills lessons and 10 hours of research project lessons, which can be taken as 3-day intensive programmes or in 15 hour classes across 2-3 weeks. The classes are scheduled throughout the day, typically 9am-3pm and 1pm-7pm UK time, to accommodate students in different time zones (The World Clock).
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will receive 8 UCAS points or 3 college credits, as well as a Certificate of Achievement, formally recognising the skills and knowledge they have gained. This can be added to their academic portfolio to showcase their commitment to extracurricular learning and research excellence to universities and future employers.
Available Subjects:
- Arts and Humanities
- Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship
- Global Society and Sustainability
- Innovations in STEM
- Medicine and Health Sciences
