The more opportunities you have to use your English, the faster it will improve. That is why we offer an unparalleled variety of activities, directed by our full-time team of qualified specialists.

We organise a number of social events for you, such as a welcome party and a guided tour of Oxford when you arrive. You can also participate in a wide range of sports, as well as adventurous outdoor activities, creative arts and service activities. Some options are linked to your studies and may include visits to theatres, concerts, lectures or galleries. During the academic year we sometimes visit places of interest in the UK and abroad. In recent years, we've been to Barcelona, Prague, Scotland, Wales, Peru and Egypt.

A full programme is always on offer; you simply sign up for the activities that interest you. Many options are included in your course fees. Excursions, music lessons and some sports incur an extra charge.

We offer football, tennis, basketball, swimming, squash, table tennis, golf, badminton, volleyball, hill walking, camping, rock climbing, photography, art, music lessons, dance, Latin funk and capoeira - and more!

Whatever your interests and talents, you'll have the chance to develop new skills and make new friends.
