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 the English plus Academic Subjects Programme you become part of this long tradition.  

  • 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 gain a useful qualification - IELTS and/or Cambridge exams
  • you study academic subjects at university-level alongside native English speakers
  • you have access to excellent Careers and Higher Education advice
  • 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 is a journey of self-discovery – whether clarifying their future plans or making life-long friends from all over the world.
