Lecture Series
Our online Lecture Series brings a core component of university learning and wider academic culture to sixth form and gap year students.
Over five weeks, students join expert academics from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge for a dynamic series of online talks at the cutting edge of their research fields. Based on Oxbridge faculty research seminars, these lectures and post-lecture discussions are designed to stretch thinking, spark new interests, and showcase the depth and variety within their chosen subject area.
