About Oxford Study Courses

Oxford Study Courses is a social enterprise specialising solely in the International Baccalaureate.

We have been running International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) Revision Courses since 1990.

We also publish IBDP Study and Revision Guides – written by the teachers who teach on our Revision Courses.

Our Courses

Each year over 2000 students attend our courses, held in:

Oxford and Cambridge Universities (UK)

Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Boston, USA)

University of New South Wales, Sydney and University of Melbourne (Australia)

University of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada)

Our revision courses provide first-class academic tuition in a wide range of IBDP subjects, given by some of the best IB teachers in the world – many of whom are examiners.

We offer our students an all-round experience with tailored programmes of extra-curricular and social activities, facilitating personal as well as academic development.

Holding our courses on the campuses of internationally-renowned universities gives our students an unparalleled opportunity to get a taste of university life at first hand, and to immerse themselves in a prestigious, inspiring academic environment.

Most of our students come back for a second and even third revision course – more often than not followed by younger siblings and friends from their school. Once they know what an OSC IBDP revision course is like they always want more!

But don’t just take our word for it – read what our students have to say...

Our Academic Team

Our Academic Team boasts a wealth of IBDP experience and expertise, both in the requirements of the Diploma, and in providing vacation-time revision courses that complement the work done in IBDP schools.

They ensure that we always maintain the highest academic standards, and keep us up to date with all the latest IBDP developments.

The team is made up of Keith Allen, Rosanna Montalbano and Tim Williams – who between them are experts in a dozen different IB subjects, and have several decades of IBDP teaching and examining experience.

Their roles have included Chief Examiner, Principal Examiner, Head and Deputy Head of IB schools all over the world, IB Teacher Trainer, Subject Team Leader, Subject Review Committee Member, Diploma Programme Coordinator, CAS Coordinator and College Counsellor.

Our Teachers

Our teachers come from top class international IB schools throughout the world, and most have been working with us for many years – some since 1990.

They are experts in delivering succinct, comprehensive revision courses, specifically designed to help students make the most progress possible within a condensed time frame.

New teachers join us each year as we expand, chiefly through recommendation by members of the existing faculty. Each new teacher is assigned a mentor from within our current team for their first session, to ensure continuity of the highest standards.
