Some students will attend Course 1 and Course 2, OR will attend Course 3. However, many students will want to attend all three courses, and we are pleased to be able to offer a special study weekend to bridge between course 2 and 3. This weekend is specially designed to enable you to use the extensive study facilities to continue your revision and other work, whilst giving you more free time to make the most of being in Oxford as well.

Study Weekend

Thursday 17th April in the evening through to Monday 21st April in the morning.

  • Access to the St. Clare's, Oxford Academic Resources Centre, including study centre, IT centre, fully resourced library
  • Access to a range of different study rooms
  • Special Study Skills workshop on the Thursday afternoon, with a targeted focus on planning your time and on managing your revision planning
  • A selection of evening social activities
  • Full board accommodation in a St. Clare's, Oxford student residence

The purpose of the Study Weekend is to give you time to develop the habits and self-discipline which will help you to continue to prepare for the IB Diploma examinations even after you have left St. Clare's, Oxford. Many students find the intensive atmosphere a great help in developing their own study patterns.

When everyone around you is working hard for the same purpose, it is often easier to find the right mental attitude to commit yourself to your own work. Whether you like to work in the same room as others, or to find your own private space, you will find the right environment to suit your own learning styles and frame of mind. Beyond creating revision timetables, this is about actually following through and really getting stuck into the work which is going to make the difference for you personally.

There will be a social activity programme, but only after dinner, and after you have had a chance to fit in some extra private study. A bit of fun, a break from your study, and the chance to let off steam is important in the evening, to make sure that you will have a good night's sleep - and be ready to start again in the morning! Please note that during the Study Weekend, curfew is still 23h00, as for the rest of the IB Easter Institute.
