About the Program

The Future Entrepreneurs Summer School is a residential programme at Oxford Saïd Business School, held on the University of Oxford campus each summer. Open to students aged 15–18 worldwide, the two-week programme immerses participants in entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy through seminars, workshops, and hands-on projects delivered by Oxford faculty and practitioners.

Participants live in an Oxford college, experience the university's academic culture, and collaborate with peers from around the world. Upon completion, students receive a certificate from the University of Oxford. The current 2027 programme page lists £8,995 for accommodation, meals, teaching and excursions. Transfer arrangements have specific limitations in the linked guidance.

The official brochure explicitly dates the programme August 1–14, 2027.

The current application guidance requires age 15–18, up to 18 years 11 months, on August 31 of the programme year and B2 English. Applicants submit three approximately 300-word responses, school and teacher-referee details, then a recorded Kira interview. Admission is rolling; no fixed cutoff was verified. The main page asks successful applicants to accept and pay a deposit, while linked terms say full fees are needed for place confirmation. No deposit amount or payment date is assumed.

The youth-programme FAQ specifically offers Heathrow/Gatwick transfers at 10:00, 14:00 and 18:00 and Oxford-station transfers, while its generic exclusions also mention London airport/train transfers. The terms charge for private transfers outside designated windows. Flights, visa and personal spending are excluded; blanket transfer inclusion and universal full funding are not confirmed. Checked November 4, 2026.
