Attended the ”Global Business, Management and Finance”- course 3-16th of July 2022 in Oxford. The course promised to analyze emerging trends and themes in finance, marketing, operations and business strategy and identify how the culture, climate, and structure of organisations empowers leadership and is influenced by leadership. The course really delivered on this and was an outstanding learning experience and boost of inspiration and energy for me. My teacher Diana was the most engaging teacher I have ever had and she really impressed me with her knowledge, creativity and engaging coursework. Friendships was created on the very first day and not just with your fellow students, but with the ORA staff as well. This made the initial nerves some might feel go away quickly. Everyday as the course developed, so did the friendships and it was made clear on graduation how close we all got to each other. One of the best things about the course was the atmosphere of being at Oxford, roaming the halls and eating in the dining halls and that so many brilliant minds have been in. The social-activities and excursions were a great mixture of learning while also exploring the city of Oxford with the very engaging and entertaining ORA staff. I truly treasure this experience and would recommend this Oxford Royale Academy outstanding course to anyone who is interested in pursuing careers in finance, marketing, operations and organization leadership.

Words cannot explain my experience at Oxford Royale Academy. I am Louise Paludan Mogensen from Denmark. I had a splendid time in Oxford! The teachers were excellent and I learned so much on the course. I got friends from all around the world. The whole experience gave me an understanding of how it is to study at an Oxford university. I will definitely recommend Oxford Royale Academy! It is an unforgettable experience!

Oxford Royale Academy was my first international summer course; it was an eye-opening experience. When I arrived, I was greeted in with warm smiles and great assistance that lasted for the rest of the camp. There, I enjoyed in-campus activities and went on multiple excursions with the camp counselors. Most importantly, I was able to partake in ORA’s intensive Engineering Preparation course taught by a professor in the field through which I learned many topics that I still refer to today. By the end of the two weeks, I was able to develop many close ties with the students and counsellors in the camp, all of whom I will surely miss.

So ORA. I don’t know where to start. I met tons of awesome people, learned lots of interesting things and had much fun here. There were classes, guest speakers and even workshops. In the evening we could play games on the lawn or go to the cinema/ice skating. The first thing we learned was, that we are not allowed to smoke, drink or take drugs. But if you have a nicotine addiction you can just use vapes and they won’t catch you. Even though curfew is at 10pm we always went to each other’s rooms and annoyed the counsellors who initially had to make sure that we comply to the rules, but in the end they were really nice and we had a lot of freedom. I really recommend everyone going here if you want to learn something about business or even if you just want to build your character by making new experiences.

Oxford Royale Academy is like a family they will help you in everything all of them have really good personality. Moreover, i have met realy good friend i had make really good friendship. In february I will go to paris to meet them because they are like my brothers now. You will have a really good time I am sure trust me

My experience at the Oxford Royale Academy Summer School Programme was amazing, truly incredible. Honestly speaking, I was scared to go at first, but in the end I had more fun than I have ever had in my life. Everyone there; teenagers and adults alike were so very kind, I felt so welcomed and cared for. I learnt so many interesting and helpful things in my New Perspective classes, as well as when we went out on trips to town. Going to ORA was like a fantastic dream, that I wish didn’t have to end. But at least I can say that I made a lot of cherishable memories with my new friends. I truly treasure this experience and absolutely recommend this programme to other teenagers.

Oxford Royale Academy summer school is fantastic! I made lifelong friends from all around the world, spoke in different languages and appreciated diverse cultures. I really enjoyed my time at the magnificent manor house in Yarnton. Everyone was friendly and all the staff welcomed us very warmly. I would love to return just to try out new courses; there is a wide range to choose from. I studied law, and this exciting course paved way for more opportunities. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realize that the world is my oyster. The teachers were so passionate about their subjects ! I am grateful to ORA and I highly recommend this summer school program for a life-changing and great experience.

This year I spent two weeks of my summer, from June 23rd to July 6th, at Yarntorn Manor, a very characteristic England building just 30 minutes away from Oxford city centre. Because I took the Broadening Horizons course, I had to choose two main subjects and an afternoon class. I decided to take the Business Finance and Management classes in the morning, and the Leadership and Teambuilding course in the afternoon. I chose these two subjects because I don’t have the possibility to study them at school but I’ve been always interested in founding out more about global business and how to set up and organize big companies. Although I’ve never studied these subjects before I’ve learnt a lot about both of them thanks to the very passionate and skilled teachers who were always ready to help. ORA’s staff was also very nice and the counsellors were always proposing new activities to the students. During these two weeks I met people from all over the world with completely different cultural and social backgrounds and we were able to create strong and long-lasting friendships. In conclusion, I think that I’ve spent two of the most unforgettable and amazing weeks in my life and I am very thankful to Oxford Royale Academy to let me attending this outstanding and unique program.

My daughter has done the "pre-law school" program with ORA this summer (2021). It has been a fantastic experience for her. She came back fully energized, has made new connections with people from around the world and gained a whole lot of self-confidence. It has helped her to feel comfortable with the subject and assured her to go for studying law when finishing school. During the pandemic the ORA team has done a fantastic job to make sure that this program can and will take place. The support the team has provided leaves nothing to wish for. I could always get someone to talk to when needed and even on a Sunday morning after flight issues the ORA team quickly turned around the airport transfer to make sure my daughter was picked up safely. Transport from the airport is great for teenagers travelling alone as they “deliver” your child personally to the university reception. I can only highly recommend the program – any ORA summer school program. It is an unforgettable experience and worth every cent. There is no price tag for the growth in personality ORA helps with.

I had such an amazing time at ORA! It made me a more confident person and was an amazing opportunity to meet lots of people from all across the world! The support from counsellors was great and i felt comfortable talking to them, they were so friendly and welcoming. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone who has the opportunity to do it, i will remember it forever and keep in contact with all of the friends i made there!

I really enjoyed my time at Oxford Royale Academy. I stayed at The Queen’s College, which was a beautiful, historic location- the perfect place to enhance academically and culturally. I studied Journalism, Contemporary History and Public Speaking and Debate. Prior to the course, I had never studied these subjects before, however I now feel very knowledgeable and I am inspired to continue learning. Each evening and every free afternoon, there were multiple, optional activities to choose from. My favourite activities included punting and going on a ghost tour. We also visited London and were able to watch a West End show. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience and would recommend attending an Oxford Royale course to anyone who wants to develop academically and culturally.

Spending two weeks in Oxford and studying at Queen's College was a life-changing experience for me. Oxford Royale Academy offers an amazing opportunity - a perfect blend of both education and fun, which is why I would recommend ORA and their courses to anyone. Our free time and time we spent in class was very well balanced. Thanks to ORA, I made so many new friends from all over the world and I still keep in touch with them.

I can say that Oxford Royale Academy was, without any doubt, one of the best experiences of my life. I got to study Political Science and International Relations, English Literature, and also got to develop my Leadership and Teambuilding skills, all of it while having the complete experience of being an Oxford student. I can say that all of the activities that were provided to us were very fun as well as enriching. There wasn't a single time in those two weeks where I felt bored. We even went to London to see a musical. All of the staff members and teachers were very professional and attentive with the students. Also, I got to make friends with people from all around the world, and I'm pretty sure that those connections will last forever. I would definitely recommend this experience.

ORA was an experience that I will never forget. I was able to open myself up more due to the vast range of diversity (nationality, language, ethnicity, etc), that was present not just at ORA, but in the city of Oxford. The staff, director, and counselors were quick to make sure that everyone felt comfortable and at home. I recommend ORA to anyone who's interested in history, small towns, and meeting new people. Oxford is full of buildings that have a story behind them, streets that have been there for 100s of years, and people who are so down to earth. I met amazing people, and anyone who does get an opportunity to try out the program should.

I spent two weeks on Oxford Royale Academy's course at Lady Margaret Hall and it was undoubtedly the highlight of my summer. As expected, the course was academically stimulating, however it also provided cultural experiences that I would not have been able to enjoy had I not attended. Staying at Lady Margaret Hall, and the city of Oxford in general, was quite enjoyable. We were given free time in which we were able to explore the city if we so desired. I particularly enjoyed visiting colleges, museums, and other tourist attractions. The academic aspect of the course was amazing. The courses were well taught and very interesting, particularly as I chose subjects that are not available to me at the secondary school level. Other optional events occurred daily, including subject specific discussions, sport events, a debate, and advice on applying to university. The multitude of cultures present allowed me to expand my worldview by talking and discussing certain topics with other participants, as well as make friends who I am still in touch with. Overall, the course was a holistic academic and cultural experience which I will cherish forever, and one which I highly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to attend.

E. S.

During my time at Oxford Royale Academy i learned a lot more about other nationalities and the course that i took (Engineering preparation). I made friends that i have stayed in contact with ever since i left and in the future we hope to see each other again. My course teacher, Director and Counsellors were exceptional and made me feel welcome to be apart of the program. They were always fun to be around and made every experience fun and interesting for me. I would recommend the program to anyone who wants to learn more about their possible course of study and if they want a fun but educational experience.

Oxford Royale Academy gave me an unforgettable 2 weeks! I was given an opportunity to explore subjects of my interest, partake in fun activities such as punting and real tennis while simultaneously experiencing campus life in one of the most prestigious university in the world, Oxford University. The friendly and supportive staff and student body also ensured a fantastic two weeks full of learning and challenging myself, gaining new experiences and meeting and forming friendships with wonderful people from around the world. I would highly recommend the program to anyone, it is definitely two weeks I will remember forever!

This summer, I went to the most fun summer schools I’ve ever been to. For two weeks, I was able to study at Balliol College to further develop my understanding of medicine, which I sure did! With a ton of different activities, even outside of classes, there was always something to do! One of my favourite activities was visiting the Ashmolean, where I was able to learn quite a bit more about the Egyptians than I’d known before. I met a ton of people from different countries and definitely learnt a lot about other cultures. The teaching was excellent and the facilities were great. It was a fantastic experience and Oxford will always be in some of my fondest memories.

When I came to Oxford I hoped I was going to have a great time. Not only did this hope come true, but the experience I have had in my two weeks in Oxford was also challenging, fulfilling and extremely instructive. The campus I lived on was beautiful and the people I met were brilliant. The friends I have made from all over the world are ones that I will stay in contact with for many years to come. The lessons I have learned were of immense value to me and have inspired me to continue along the academic path I want to take. Over the time period of my course I have grown in a way I could not have grown if I had not come to ORA. So I advice everyone who considers applying to an ORA-course to take this opportunity and do it. There is so much waiting for you.

T. M.

Overall, the most enriching and fulfilling experience a student could ask for. In all levels, academically and culturally, ORA excels in providing the best for their attendees, having a wide range of engaging activities and the best opportunities to get to know other cultures and lifestyles. I would, without a doubt, recommend the program to anyone who has the opportunity to attend and, if I ever have the opportunity to return to England with ORA, I know I would take it without the slightest hesitation!

Going to study at Oxford Royale Academy is a great opportunity to go to a different country, but also make your time useful by learning new things.There are many course options which give you the opportunity to be able to choose what you like, or try something new. It also gives you the chance to live on a campus in Oxford, use the same classrooms as regular students, meet different cultures, have fun at the different social activities, and also make amazing new friends. I definitely recommend spending time with ORA because not only will it be the one of the best times of your life, having participated will have you seeing the world differently especially with the international friends you will have made. #ORAALUMNI4LIFE!

I have been studying summer school with ORA for 2 weeks, I was so glad and impressed. I went to Balliol college, there are so beautiful and wonderful building felt like in harry potter. There are so many friends came from too many countries, we shared and exchanged our knowledge and cultural. I really love the weather and environment in UK. I was so proud to got this scholarship I got so many experiences and I will use it to improve myself in the future. Many thanks

F. D.

ORA helped me getting out of my comfort zone in every way possible! I travelled alone to England and I was very nervous but as soons as I got to the college I had the staff waiting outside and ready to help me. It. Was. Unreal. The activities, the teachers, the program, the staff, the food, the city itself!! It was an amazing experience and one I will not forget... Left with great memories and friends

N. B.

Oxford Royale Academy is a great place to study in the summer. I took the Broadening Horizons program and studied at Queen's College -- the college is beautiful. You get the chance to take courses and participate in activities. This includes subjects such as Experimental Psycology and Contemporary History, and activities such as Ice Skating and Bouldering. There are many diverse peers for you to build friendships with and campus team members to guide you on your way and coordinate your activities and excursions. I will list 5 pros and 5 cons, but let me tell you that overall, the pros outweigh the cons. PROS 1. Good food (they accommodate quite well to alternative diets such as vegan or gluten-free) 2. Nice accommodations 3. Ideal location (a mall, several libraries, several museums, and quality cafes/restaurants were just a short walk away) 4. Free time and activities (lots of time was given for exploring, completing assignments, and participating in optional activities) 5. Many students/good social life (at almost any time, you could head over to the junior common room to talk to a friend, compete in a game of foozball, or play a game of chess) CONS 1. Assignments (For my courses, I had 4 total assignments to complete. Although this may seem light for two weeks, it does take quite a bit of time away from socializing) 2. Food (as previously mentioned, the food tasted good, but lunch and any snacks you might want throughout the day has to be purchased independently) 3. The price (the cost for this program is quite high, considering it to be only two weeks, which makes it hard for some to attend. Thankfully, a few scholarships are given to deserving students) 4. The Wifi (almost every time you want to use the wifi, you have to sign in again, which is tiresome to some students) 5. The water (the water available to student is tap water, which is fine to drink, but if you only drink purified water, you are going to have to get that yourself) 6. Excursions (I thought that I would get to travel around more while I was there and see England landmarks, such as Stonehenge, but we only went to London once, and we had limited time) EDIT: although we seldom left Oxford, we had many daily activities trying out new things and exploring the city. • Hopefully my advice helps you in your decision making process. I highly enjoyed attending ORA, and I'm sure that you would too.

My name is Serly. As for my ORA experience, I am afraid I cannot find appropriate words to describe my incredible experience in Cambridge Clare College, which was my dream to be accommodated in one of the world known university college. I had the opportunity to take the New Perspective course, which included three academic up-to-date subjects of my interest. They definitely helped me to discover my unknown power, gifts and arose curiosity in different fields. We had amazing teachers who did not only teach us but guide us through the way. Besides the academic excellence that I was prone to there, I had the privilege to enjoy super diverse environment, which was unbelievable. We learnt how to respect others ideas and experience that nice feeling to be sitting next to a person with different background, different nationality and different skin color. Literally, it is the best experience I have ever had so far. ORA made me feel fulfilled, accomplished, safe, motivated. All in all, if you want to have lots of WOW and eye opening moments, give a try and join ORA!

My experience studying in the Oxford Royale Academy was amazing. Not only did I thoroughly learn the course subject, I also gained alot of experience and exposure from a completely different kind of environment than I'm used to by getting out of my comfort zone, explored the rich history and amazing architecture of Oxford, all while meeting new people from all over the globe and making everlasting bonds between us. All in just ONE trip, and i know for a fact that the experience and memories I've gained from this trip will never stray away from me. This trip has helped me get out of my comfort zone and made me face the huge world beyond my home town. I will treasure this trip for a very long time and i will treasure the friends I've made along the way just the same. I did not regret going to the Oxford Royale Academy a single second.

Oxford royale academy was a very fantastic experience! I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy the summer while gaining a lifelong experience.I attended the engineering preparation course at yarnton manor,which was a very beautiful building,oxford city was inspiring and everyone was very nice and friendly.The staff and teachers specifically made the experience a hundred times better they were all passionate and caring. Overall it was a wonderful time at ORA and I would love to come back another time ,and hence I recommend everyone to apply ! : )

O. M.

My experience at Oxford Royale Academy was one of a lifetime. My course was challenging but extremely fun and I feel I will take the skills and knowledge I have gained with me for the rest of my life. But on top of this I did not expect to make the amazing life long friends that I did. Oxford Royale is a family and I’m so happy to have been a part of it! Thank you so much for having me and I hope I made you proud! I would recommend ORA to anyone and everyone.

I took the Broadening Horizons course at Queen’s College, Oxford from August 4th to August 17th. You had to choose two subjects and one afternoon class from a variety of options, mine were: Creative Writing, Journalism and Public Speaking and Debate, all three were amazing and highly recommended. The staff was great and very caring, especially the counselors who were always lending you a helping hand in the activities or anything you required. The teachers were also good, hardworking and always striking to guide you to your best potential. The activities went from sports at the park to ice skating or punting and were fun and a perfect moment for socialization. The people I met there came from all around the world and yet we were all so similar: teenagers eager to learn and have the best of times in one of the most prestigious universities. Everything was outstanding, but the best part of Oxford summer school for me was that they always put you outside of your comfort zone (making speeches in debating class in front of everyone, buying your own lunch, making friends from very different cultures) and this is where you grow the most.

A. O.

Unforgettable experience, with friends for life. Learned so much, with the best programme team and teacher.

O. R.

It was a fantastic educational opportunity and one that I feel very blessed to have won a scholarship to attend. From the counselors and the professors to the beautiful campus at Queen’s and the students from every corner of the globe, ORA 2019 was an enjoyable experience I will always keep close to my heart.

A. L. A.

I did the course of Explore Medical and Psychology and I had an amazing time, I would recomend it to all the people who like this topic.

N. M.

I had an amazing two weeks at Queen's College for the ORA program. I was able to make friends from all over the world who helped me grow as a person in so many different ways. They staff and people I met all contributed to my great experience.

My experience with ORA this summer was an exceptional one. I was awarded a full scholarship by ORA to attend its two-weeks Broadening Horizons Program, where I took courses on Political Science, Medical Biology, and Public Speaking & Debate. This program's academic depth and outstanding flexibility provided me with invaluble skills on each subject; and, most importantly, it gave me the confidence to make the choice to pursue a liberal degree--in social sciences and the humanities--rather than a scientific degree. The professors were amazing and their guidance was invaluble. The memories made and the knowledge gained were life-changing and they will forever motivate me to pursue my academic dreams and fullfill my true potential.

S. H.

My son was given the opportunity of a scholarship by Oxford Royale. He really enjoyed the first class academic program (two weeks engineering in Cambridge) as well as the interaction and sharing with fellow students from all over world. Great school experience! Thank you Oxford Royale, will try to sign up again if possible!

R. T.

Oxford Royale academy was an unforgettable experience that has made me a more independent person with broader views towards world issues. It has helped shape me as a person as well as made me more open towards strangers. Would definitely recommend it.

This experience was not only about academic growth, but also personal growth.
