Social Programme
While you study with us at the Summer Institute at Oriel College Oxford, we also want to ensure you have a good time! The experience isn’t all about classroom learning, so we arranged plenty of other activities for you to get involved in.
Below you will find some of the activities our Social Programme has included in previous editions of our Summer Institute. While we do our best to stick to our planned activities schedule, the activities timetable is subject to change due to foreseen circumstances. A more detailed activities schedule will be provided closer to the programme’s start date. Here’s what we’ve been up to in the past:
- Bodleian Library Visit. Explore this magnificent library which holds 13 million printed items, and you can also have a chance to get your Library Card with an extra fee.
- Quiz Night. Build a team and test your knowledge of British Culture and the world. Have fun at our Quiz Night.
- Croquet Tournament. Join us to learn more about the traditional English sport.
- Punting. Take on a traditional activity along the River Isis – it’s harder than it looks!
- Film Nights. Sit back and relax with a good film and some popcorn – it’s on us!
- Museum Tours. See some of Oxford’s best museums, Ashmolean Museum, with exhibitions on Scientific history, Dinosaurs, Medieval weaponry, and much more!
- Pub Tour. A visit to Oxford would not be complete without visiting some of the oldest and most traditional pubs in the area. JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis used to drink here, too – perhaps you’ll find some inspiration to create your own literature!
In addition to this, we invite industry professionals, VIPs and subject specialists to our Evening Talks, where many thought-provoking and current issues are discussed, such as:
