All our exciting courses are available online, and all of them are taught with Oxford’s signature emphasis on stimulating small-group discussions and highly-personalised tutorial classes. Not only will you expand your knowledge and deepen your understanding of your chosen subject, but you will also finish the programme better equipped to articulate, debate, and defend your ideas.

How does an LMH Summer Programme Online work?
Meaningful learning experiences require easy interaction and shared participation. Lady Margaret Hall’s licensed remote programme platform ensures that this is never lost, with a mobile and web-browser app that everyone can use whether joining us in person or online.
You will use the app to register with the programme, access materials, watch live or recorded lectures, ask questions of speakers in real time and chat with fellow students on the programme. For seminar and tutorial classes you and other students taking part online from around the world will join a tutor in Oxford in a virtual classroom. Through careful online classroom management these sessions are as interactive and engaging as if you were in the same room.
Throughout the programme our Remote Learning Coordinator will be on hand to ensure that online students are able to take part fully and effectively with all aspects of the academic programme.
