At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that an elite intensive residential experience (in addition to a student’s regular year school work) is the key to unlocking your true potential. We designed this leadership programme for future female leaders aged 16 and over.

Through classes, seminars and individual tutorials held at University College in the magical university city of Oxford, England, young female leaders will learn from university instructors, tutors, and mentors from Oxford University. The curriculum is designed to enhance each Athena Scholar’s ability to research, write, debate, and present her ideas effectively and persuasively.

Athenians will engage in courses taught at an undergraduate level including PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics), International Relations, Business Leadership, Research & Writing. The Oxford Exchange hire think tank researchers and experts to conduct special seminars on Religion & Global Politics, Global Health & Medicine, New Technologies (Space Diplomacy taught by a former NASA Official), Natural Resource Management and GIS, and other key topics.

At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that everyone has the potential to learn and grow, regardless of his or her background or experience. We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive and achieve their goals.

APPLICATIONS: We operate on a rolling admissions basis, and provide feedback within 1-5 days and offers of admission. We will accept applications (Statement of Interest + Essay) until our cohort is full. We highly encourage applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible as we anticipate that we will be full by March 2024.
