"Our son Yagiz had the most stimulating start to his summer with Oxford Summer School in July '24. He returned back home with a sound knowledge and a broad perspective of pursuing a career in law, not to mention having made new friends in the poetic setting of the University of Oxford. Many thanks to all of the team - and special thanks to Stephanie - they were allsupportive and fantastic at providing our youngsters a first class summer experience!"
Emma
"Stephanie and the team could not do enough to welcome my daughter to the course and integrate her into the Law programme with the other students. It was incredibly well organised and my daughter was happy to participate each day in the scheduled activities even though it took place in the Summer holidays. She really enjoyed the class discussions and said that they definitely improved her critical thinking skills.
Her tutor was very good and gave a very useful reference at the end of the process. I would certainly recommend this course for anyone thinking of an introduction to Law."
Nazanin
"My daughter enjoyed her time at the Oxford Summer School. She learned academics as well as how to live away from home all while making new good friends. Stephanie and her team were always ready to answer any questions and their emails were so efficient and easy to navigate. I really appreciated all the communication we received and support they provided."
