OxBright

If you’re a 15-18 year old who is serious about discovering, exploring and preparing for your future, OxBright is for you.

After nearly ten years’ experience of running academic summer and online programmes, we’ve learnt that while schools are often outstanding at supporting students to get good grades, there is often a lack of current subject-specialist knowledge available for students to access.

OxBright aims to fix this. So, for example, if you’re thinking about studying Law at university, you’ll have regular access to our Law Mentors, current undergraduate and postgraduate students from leading universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. They have successfully been through the process you are experiencing – from deciding whether to study Law, through to choosing the best university and course for them, to succeeding in their university applications and thriving at university and beyond.

Whatever your stage of your journey – whether you’re thinking of studying a particular subject at university, whether you’re weighing up which university and course to study, or whether you know you want to study a subject at a specific university and are looking to prepare effectively – OxBright is here for you.

Let’s imagine you’re an OxBright Medicine member. A typical week might look like this:

• Monday: your Mentor sends over our podcast on Oxford’s role in pioneering the COVID-19 vaccine, and asks you to think about some of the challenges involved in vaccine discovery
• Wednesday: your Mentor sends over a 5 minute vlog on what it’s REALLY like to be a first year medical student at Oxford, Cambridge and in London
• Thursday: your Mentor gives you priority access to our recent blog article they’ve written on the top 3 latest treatments in psychiatry
• Saturday: your live, hour-long Tutorial takes place on “Artificial Intelligence in Medicine – How AI is Discovering New Antibiotics”. You’ll join your fellow Medicine mentees and will have the opportunity to ask your Mentor lots of questions

The live Tutorials usually take place on Saturdays around 1-2pm UK time (which we have found to be the best time to allow students from lots of different timezones to participate).

Don’t worry! OxBright is designed so that you can access the content whenever you want. If you’re unable to make a live session you’ll be able to watch it back afterwards. We also have vlogs, blogs and podcasts for you to enjoy whenever your schedule allows.

You have the choice of subscribing on a monthly basis, for six months or for a year. Whatever your subscription, you’ll get access to the same great content. The benefit of signing up for six months is that you get three months free. The benefit of signing up for a year is that you receive six weeks free, and you also get 15% off any online course/conference/internship you book with us, and £300 off our residential Oxford summer school.

It is no problem to cancel, and we make this easy for you – just let us know and you won’t be charged the next month’s subscription (if you are on a monthly subscription) or the next six month subscription (if you are on a six monthly subscription) or the next year’s subscription (if you are on an annual subscription).

At Oxford Scholastica, we have a diverse international intake, with students from around the world taking part (last year we had students from over 60 different nationalities!).

OxBright is designed to help you plan and prepare effectively for your future. We’re on a mission to give students the edge to enable them to succeed, have purpose and make a difference. While attending OxBright won’t guarantee you’ll get into a specific university, our Mentors will help you to get the clarity and motivation to give you the best possible chance of fulfilling your potential.

As with all our courses, while many of our tutors come from leading universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and others, it is important to remember that we are not affiliated to these universities.

OxBright is designed to complement our other courses, and many students who experience our courses choose to sign up to OxBright (and many OxBright students choose to sign up for our courses, conferences and internships either online or in Oxford – if you sign up to the Annual Subscription you benefit from 15% off our online courses and £300 off your Oxford summer school experience).

Whereas our courses last anywhere from a full day through to two weeks, OxBright is there for you year-round, giving you the opportunity to access live and on-demand subject-specialist content at times which suit you. Think of OxBright as your personal companion guiding and motivating you throughout the week, inspiring and stretching you to fulfil your potential and succeed in your aspirations.
