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.

“At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that everyone has the potential to learn and grow, regardless of their background or experience.”

University College, Oxford * 4 August to 17 August 2024

Do you have students wondering whether engineering is the right career path for them? Or students that are creative and need some inspiration for where their career path may lie?  If yes, then TEDI-London has the perfect online taster programme for them this November.

Back for a second time this year, our free ‘Thinking Ahead’ programme gives students the opportunity to develop a design with sustainability and user needs in mind, as well as how to pitch their idea – all key skills for future engineers!  It’s also a great chance for students to top-up their personal statements. 

The programme is fully online for students to take part in outside of their regular studies and is structured over two weeks:

When is it? 

Phase 1: Think like an engineer | 26 November – 6 December

We’ll send over our interactive learning content to get students thinking like engineers. They can access and read this at their own pace to fit around their schedules.  

Phase 2: Create like an engineer | 6 December – 13 December

Students will be set our challenge brief and have the week to come up with a design solution. Throughout there will be online sessions with the TEDI-London team and industry professionals to help students with the challenge and learn more about the world of engineering.  

How can students apply?

Students must be 16 and over to take part. They can take part individually or as a group (max 5 people). They will need to fill out a form on our website to apply by Monday 20 November latest.

Education Advisers Ltd would like to introduce you to Imperial College’s Global Design Space Challenge, 2023 Summer Course – the most exciting UK summer course and an absolute “must” for aspiring engineering undergraduates.

Please find a prospectus for the Global Space Design Challenge along with an electronic expression of interest form, which can be accessed here GSDC Expression of Interest Form – July 2023

This course is run at Imperial College, the UK’s leading science university and is ideal for the brightest UK and international students (age15-18), who aspire to study science or engineering at the world’s top universities.  It includes an intensive and professional programme of training by expert engineers and academics from Imperial, Oxford and industry-leading space companies. This is followed by an industrial design simulation which exposes students to the joys and challenges of working in a team culminating in an aerospace proposal competition. Students compete in teams to build the best community in outer space.

The course is perfect for students aiming for careers in space science, aeronautical engineering, robotics, or automation. They will experience an exciting, motivational, and competitive space design programme, learning and working with top academics from Imperial and Oxford.

The current UK buzz word in education is “Super-Curricular”. It’s now expected that a high ability student will go above and beyond the curriculum to demonstrate their love of subject and undertake independent study and research. The Global Space Design Challenge does all of that and more.

This 4 day / 5 night fully residential programme runs from 19th-24th July 2023. The cost for UK and EU students is £2195; and for Rest of the World students, the cost is £2695.
