The OSS Senior Programme offers an academically rigorous experience for students aged 16-19, closely reflecting the teaching style of Oxford and Cambridge. Through lectures, seminars, and small-group tutorials, students engage deeply with advanced subjects while developing critical thinking, independence, and university-level study skills. The programme is selective, ensuring a motivated cohort of students who are ready for academic challenge and intense learning. Teaching is led by 40+ expert tutors from Oxford, Cambridge, and other G5 universities, providing personalised mentorship and insight into their fields. A rich programme of cultural and social activities complements the academic experience. Students leave better prepared for top university study, with greater confidence and clarity about their future academic path.
Senior students choose from four specialised streams: Science & Technology; Medical & Biological Sciences; Business & Economics; and Law, Politics & International Relations. Teaching reflects the Oxbridge model, combining lectures, seminars, and tutorials to promote deep subject engagement, critical analysis, and independent thinking. Tutors from Oxford, Cambridge, and other leading UK universities provide personalised guidance, helping students prepare for the demands of competitive university study.
Students take part in a wide range of cultural, creative, and social activities alongside their academic programme. These include formal college traditions, visits to historic sites, punting on the River Cam, and excursions such as Blenheim Palace and Bodleian Library tours. Evenings feature social events and group activities, helping students build friendships and unwind after intensive study.
