Not only that, but our Summer School stands out from the crowd by allowing you to create your own tailor-made learning experience. When you apply you will have the option to select courses in Applied Microeconomics, Macroeconomics or Econometrics; so you can choose morning and afternoon sessions from two different disciplines, or focus on a single field of interest. This allows you to create a tailored learning experience that ensures you get the most out of your time in Oxford.
