I have made lots of friends who I plan to stay in contact with, and the program has improved my mathematical knowledge and my determination and desire to succeed.
Network with like-minded individuals
Daily social activities with participants around the world
Students can connect with like-minded individuals from around the world, and are encouraged to socialise and make friends through daily activities and games after classes finish.
Activities include virtual college tours, murder mystery parties and a ‘University Challenge’-style quiz.
These sessions are led by Oxbridge undergraduates who act as Mentors for Online Insights participants. This is a fantastic opportunity for participants to hear from students at Oxford and Cambridge University, and receive guidance and advice on studying at one of the world’s top universities.

Online Learning Platform
Virtual Classrooms
All sessions are delivered on Zoom’s education platform – the world’s leading virtual classroom software.
Before the course begins, all students will receive a welcome pack that includes information about their tutors, mentors, guest speakers, as well as their programme overview.
Students will also receive an interactive timetable with links to each of their classes.
We offer 2-day intensives, 1-week, 2-week and 10-week programmes so that you can learn at a time and duration that fits your current activities.
Sample Artificial Intelligence Modules
-
Module 1 - Ethics of AI
This module will discuss the ethical questions that are currently debated with the rise of AI and its growing reliance in the modern world. Will AI replace human workers? Will it spread or help tackle the rise of fake news and misinformation? Put your scholar's hat on to debate the hottest topics of the century. -
Module 2 - Applications of AI
Learn the implications and applications of AI in different industries, from medicine to the social sciences and humanities. Which industries benefited most and what new jobs has AI created - all of this you will find out in this module. -
Module 3 - AI and Machine Learning
You will explore the fascinating history of AI research and the initial experiments that seemed promising but ultimately turned out to be dead ends. Then, you’ll turn to the probabilistic basis of machine learning and neural networks, demystifying this arcane-sounding technique and its many variations. -
Module 4 - AI and Gamification
In the 1990’s IBM successfully defeated chess grandmaster Gary Kasperov, a feat that shocked the world. IBM’s machine, deep blue employed artificial intelligence to defeat Kasperov. But what is artificial intelligence? What does it mean to be rational? And how does this tie in with playing games? Further, why do we need artificial intelligence, and what does it provide us with? A commonly misunderstood question. In this topic, you will consider algorithms such as MiniMax, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, and monte carlo methods, and how they can be used for optimisation problems.
