What to Expect from the Online Research Programme

Each student will undertake advanced research in a topic of their interest, culminating in a full-length academic research paper. The programme is conducted online and the research paper is assessed by a world class tutor.

The development of the research project will be guided by an Oxbridge tutor. The whole programme is facilitated online over the course of 10 contact hours, or 15 hours. Participants can choose the intensity of their course, and whether they wish to undertake our traditional 1:1 online research programme (accredited or non-accredited options available) or prefer to be surrounded by their peers with our “group” online research programme.

The Online Research programme provides undergraduate-level research opportunities to motivated and high achieving students.

The Career Insights programme has been great. I’ve been interacting with so many different people from different cultures and different countries, and it’s been fun to learn new things about business management that I didn’t know earlier. Throughout the programme, I’ve noticed myself developing and changing into a more confident individual who has more clarity of his future. It gives you more clarity on how to present projects in front of educators, and it gives you an edge over the rest.

Our tutor was amazing. He knew the answer to every question that you could think of about engineering, knew about everyone’s specialist subjects and was happy to discuss opportunities in each field with us. My favourite aspect of the programme would be going on Industry trips such as the tour of the London Underground, and how engineering plays such a vital role. It’s so much easier to learn and focus when there’s something that’s always keeping your attention rather than just having to focus only on lectures and classroom learning.
