Where Education & Creativity Meet Inspiration.
The Oxford Exchange is a UK educational nonprofit organisation that run elite courses in Oxford and Cambridge for adults seeking to add value to their educational journey. We also create tailored residential courses for institutional clients and colleges who wish to offer their students an "Oxford Experience." Advance
The Oxford Exchange is a UK education non-profit provider that also runs the Oxford IQ Preparatory Academy offering online tutorials and residential Oxford courses (1 week and 2 week courses) to elite students ages 13-15, and 16-18. The courses allow students to take 3 subjects taught by OxBridge tutors at a university-level. Students live exactly as do Oxford University students, in an Oxford college, and take meals in the college's dining hall, and experience a full "Oxford student life."
In 2001, The Oxford Exchange (OEX) was founded as a think tank specialising in foreign and home policy analysis, political campaigning, and international relations writ large. Our clients included world leaders, government institutions (NASA, US Department of Defense, British Parliament), and corporations seeking insight into global trends.
In 2021, the United States Air Force requested bespoke policy and area studies courses for USAF Officers and Senior NCO's who were stationed in Europe. We hired top university professors in the UK, secured VIP Guest speakers like General David Petraeus, and delivered a week-long online course to RAF Mildenhall during the pandemic. Our first course was rated 98.5 out of 100 by the 40 participants.
The Oxford Exchange is based in the city of Oxford, England and offers short residential courses and seminars in various subjects at an Oxford college to enhance lifelong learning.
The Oxford Exchange is based in Oxford, managed by Oxonians, and delivers residential courses.
