Oxford Athletica & The Oxford Exchange - 2 Week Courses
Our Mission
At Oxford Athletica, our mission is to inspire a love of all things "Oxford" including rowing and learning within the setting of a world-class university. Where else can you row on the Isis in the morning, have a hearty English breakfast followed by lectures and seminars, only to round out your day with a VIP lecture and socialising with your cohort mates who come from around the world? Oxford, that's where!
University-Level Courses Taught by Oxford Tutors
30 hours/week of study and classes. Students take 2 core subjects and 2-4 Electives. The core courses of PPE (Philosophy, Politics & Economics) and Business Leadership & Entrepreneurship are the anchor points. Students can then choose to participate in electives such as Classics, Creative Writing, English Literature, or Security Studies.
World-Class Rowing Instruction
20 hours/week. Don't have your own equipment? No problem - we hire the boats (Eights and Sculls), the rowing instructors, and the rowing safeguarding team. Our relationship is with several Oxford Boat Clubs, and you will be learning from the best.
Group Activities
Every evening, our Oxford Mentors (Oxford University students whom we hire to run the activities) organise pub crawls (for the adult cohort), games, karaoke, and tours around Oxford.
Day Trip to London
We take the entire cohort to London for a day trip and tour English football clubs as well as Parliament and the British Museum. It is a day to see the sights of London and to bond with your cohort whilst learning the business of football!
