Studying at St. Clare's

St. Clare’s is located close to the centre of Oxford, a city with a long tradition of learning.  Our International College was established over 60 years ago and the mission ‘to advance international education and understanding’ remains the focus to this day. Every year students from many different nationalities join our programmes and benefit from a first-class education and a memorable cultural experience.

When you join one of the English Language programmes you become part of this long tradition at St Clare’s:

  • you are respected as a learner, with individual needs and ambitions, and receive the very best teaching
  • you improve your overall English Language competence and your confidence to live and work in the modern world
  • you are encouraged to gain a useful qualification - IELTS or Cambridge exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE)
  • you mix in a truly international community in the residences, dining room and on the activities programme
For many of our students their time at St Clare’s, Oxford is a journey of self-discovery – whether clarifying their future plans or making life-long friends from all over the world.
