The Den, our student lounge, is fully integrated with technology. In this space students now have the ability to access social media on the school iPads, to do their homework on laptops, to access content streamed on to our big screen TV, to play the video games consoles, or even table football!
As well as this, The Den is a place where students can simply eat lunch, drink a coffee from our school coffee shop, or chat with their friends (face-to-face or on social media) in a bright and welcoming atmosphere!

Interactive Classrooms
All of our 17 spacious classrooms benefit from natural light and are equipped with projectors making it possible to wirelessly stream content from the classroom iPads, laptops or even mobile phones on to the whiteboards, which make lessons even more effective and fun.
In the busy summer months we use up to 4 additional classrooms no more than 10 minutes walking distance from the school.
Rooftop Terrace
We are lucky to have our own roof terrace. On a sunny day, this is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and meet up with fellow students.
Central Location
We are located in the heart of the city, in the historic St. Giles district, just a few minutes from Christ Church College, where Harry Potter was filmed. Cornmarket, with its shops and cafés, is just 50 metres away. In addition, our Teacher Training centre caters for both UK and overseas teachers wishing to develop their careers.
Our Students
We are very proud to have made our students' stay in Oxford a memorable and rewarding experience!
My stay in Oxford has been a very enriching experience! The staff are really dynamic, qualified and pleasant and I met a lot of students from different countries and cultures. I hope I'll keep in touch with them and I wish to be able to come again to British Study Centres next year.

This is my first international trip and since I arrived here, I've been discovering a lot of things about British people, culture, habits, urban myths that make up the atmosphere in this really amazing city! Oxford isn't just museums and colleges! Parks, pubs, libraries and a social life are waiting for you every day!
Hilden, Brazil
This year I am going on to study a Master's in international relations at Brookes University and I couldn't have done it without BSC. Again, thank you very much! The best thing about the school is that having extremely friendly and attentive staff makes students like to learn everything.
Nick, Georgia
I like the teachers and the staff. They are very helpful and kind to me. I really would like to come back again. Oxford has amazing parks for picnics and to have fun with your friends and of course night life in Oxford is unbelievable!
