Oxford and Cambridge Advanced Summer Programme
The Oxford and Cambridge Advanced Studies Programme is a prestigious academic summer course for high-school students ages 16-19. It is a unique opportunity for high-achieving students to live, study and socialise in beautiful Oxford and Cambridge University Colleges. Students travel to Oxford (OASP) and Cambridge (CASP) from all over the world.
Location: Brasenose College.
Oxford Brasenose College enjoys the best location of any Oxford University College with the entrance to the Old Quad on Radcliffe Square next to the Bodleian Library. Brasenose College was founded in 1509 and over the years it has been home to many famous students from author William Golding to the ex-British Prime Minister, David Cameron.
Each student has a comfortable single bedroom. The Frewin Court annex is situated next to the historic Oxford Union, the world-famous student-debating club. In addition to student rooms, there is a pleasant common room area with a TV and games for evening leisure time.
Location: Magdalene College, Oxford.
The Cambridge Advanced Studies Program (CASP) is located in Magdalene College, which was founded in 1428 and is the seventh oldest Cambridge University College. Located just north of the city centre on the River Cam, it enjoys the longest riverfront of any college. Magdalene is famous for housing the diaries of Samuel Pepys, the writer who recorded the events of the Great Fire of London in 1666. Older, more traditional Magdalene buildings, such as the famous Pepys Library, are complemented by the modern Cripps Court accommodation and teaching block. Student bedrooms, teaching rooms and the dining hall are all located in the main college buildings. CASP students all have single rooms. Wi-Fi is available across the campus. It is also a very short walk to the historic centre of Cambridge and the many attractions, shops and cafes on offer to students.
