World-class teaching and academic rigour are at the heart of an LMH Oxford Summer Programme, and all of our courses are taught using the University of Oxford’s renowned tutorial teaching system, in which the week’s teaching culminates in a tutorial, a unique opportunity for personalised and dynamic teaching in classes of only 2 to 4 students.

 

LMH Oxford Summer Programmes are designed to be eligible for academic credit, and we will provide a Lady Margaret Hall transcript and communicate with you to facilitate this as needed. We recommend the award of 15 UK / 7.5 ECTS / 4 US Credits for each course.
