Applications for residential places have now closed, but we continue to welcome applications to join an LMH Summer Programme Online, which offers the same academic programme with the convenience of taking part from where you are. Applications are processed and offers are made on a rolling basis, and we will provide a decision on your application within a maximum of two weeks.
Admissions Criteria
LMH Summer Programmes are designed for students who want to gain and develop knowledge in their chosen subject area. Unless specifically stated in the course outline, there are no formal prerequisites or restrictions regarding which subject(s) you are currently studying at university, but please note that LMH Summer Programmes are intensive courses of study aimed at undergraduates who have completed one or two years of their degree, or entry level postgraduate students.
We will consider each applicant’s academic ability and expect successful applicants to have a minimum grade point average equivalent to 2:1 level on the British grading scale. For example, this would mean at least a 3.2 GPA on the 4.0 grading scale in the United States, and 80% in China.
To participate fully in the programme all students will need to have proficiency in English. Students who are not either native English speakers or taught in English at their home university must demonstrate their English proficiency with one of the following:
- Overall TOEFL score of 85
- IELTS score of 6.5 (no less than 6.0 in each component)
- CET-4 at 550
- CET-6 at 520
- Duolingo English Test score of 120 (no less than 105 in each section)
- Cambridge English Scale score of 176
If you have proof of English language proficiency which is not listed above, but which you would like us to consider, please contact vacation.programmes@lmh.ox.ac.uk.
