OUR AIMS AND
OBJECTIVESOxford Study Solutions is a friendly team which aims to provide the social infrastructure desired by overseas students in the UK, and to bridge the gap between unwilling introversion and confident integration in the local and wider society. We promise to treat your offspring, and their targets, as our own. An expanding organization based in the cosmopolitan city of Oxford, our heartfelt mission is to facilitate progressive educational gains, both concrete and creative, for our all student clientele, in the spirit of genuine learning.
Students who gravitate towards this nucleus of proven academic excellence are full of aspirations and enthusiasm, and we intend to work towards sustaining the vital force that generates this, and motivates humanity’s urge to expand and improve its knowledge base.
Oxford Study Solutions aims to support students in the drive towards eloquent
expression and exuberance in education, combining personal academic gains with the desire to share
and communicate all that is being discovered in this
process.
Fully aware that the fruits of academic study depend on a synthesis of wisdom
and knowledge deriving from ancient and modern cultures, we support the curious
and proactive mind, together with a spirit of inclusive tolerance, as emotional literacy also
underlies successful learning.
The future generation needs to be trained ethically as well as intellectually, and we are dedicated to pursuing this goal: consequently our students are keenly encouraged to participate in debate, challenges and cultural activities throughout the academic year. Britain has fought hard to establish its system of rights, and so Oxford Study Solutions wants to develop a conscientious basis for investigation, dialogue and action, since freedom of speech is cherished here, but this privilege comes simultaneously with social responsibilities.
Oxford Study Solutions is a friendly team which aims to provide the social infrastructure de-sired by overseas students in the UK, and to bridge the gap between unwilling introversion and confident integration in the local and wider society. We promise to treat your offspring, and their targets, as our own.
We would like to emphasize our distinctive and pragmatic approach to assisting students along the most useful and potentially successful educational pathways. Despite the variety of attractive degree subjects and courses, the job market has become volatile in the last decade; there is no absolute guarantee of satisfactory and fulfilling employment even with a good degree result.

While we do orientate students to the very best degree courses available to equip them for life, Oxford Study Solutions also makes every effort to initiate them on this journey, offering a valuable opportunity to put theory into practice in our 2-week summer Business Life courses, a condensed experiential program developing entrepreneurial and employment skills of young learners. The program is also aiming to develop Mind & Body synergies through physical training.

Our pastoral activities include exploring the tangible records of past achievers in the various fields of applied science, several of which are on display in the original Ashmolean museum building, which is now devoted to scientific exhibits. These artefacts represent catalysts for our modern technology, and originate from all the ancient civilisations.
This is available for the pre-university
and undergraduate age groups, presented in
collaboration with Cherwell Tutorial College, one of the
most well-established colleges of its type in
Oxford.
We are proud to share our tradition of ethical trading from its roots in Oxfam to the more recent Fair Trade movement, which operates against exploitation of employees in the developing world, and to sponsors retailers with sensitive and environmentally sound policies.

RENE DESCARTES (1596-1650) defined human beings in his quotation:
“I think, therefore I am” … and also commented: “It is not enough to have a good
mind; the main thing is to use it well … except our own thoughts, there is absolutely nothing in our power …”
Let us return to a past era when, as we understand it, the young were more passionately motivated to engage their minds - exuberantly!
This year, 2013, is reputed to be a milestone year in terms of research into the human mind. Scientists are making long-awaited inroads into
analyses that will dramatically assist our intelligent progress, in a new renaissance of understanding ourselves.
Wednesday, March 20, has been designated the first World Happiness Day, following in the footsteps of Bhutan, a small Himalayan kingdom

L O C A T I O N Oxfordshire as a whole is a region that has repeatedly demonstrated its potential for innovation and quantum achievement, with a huge spectrum of unique theory applied to functional contexts, and extraordinary literature.
The children’s classic Alice in Wonderland is still selling in quantity and stimulating new critiques,
while the Harry Potter series was the first children’s
book to enter the Chinese market; C.S. Lewis, J.R. R.Tolkien and Philip Pullman gained the inspiration for their novels here, while the city is famous for its publishing house, Oxford University Press.

airport, now expanding into civilian services.
