Weekly Oxford Worldwide
Live, online weekly classes
With real-time class discussions and debate
Based on our in-Oxford teaching, our Weekly Oxford Worldwide (WOW) programme of courses are taught completely online and have scheduled, live-time meetings to attend. Live-time discussions and Q&A take place via an online platform. Additionally, some courses may have pre-recorded lectures to enjoy.
Each course has 5 or 10 meetings, which include an introductory meeting to introduce you to the online platform. A full description of how our WOW courses work can be found here.
Enrolments may close up to one week prior to the start date of the course. We recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.
