I am aware that I will need to attend online sessions 3:00-5:30pm UK time on Wednesdays throughout term time. *

I am aware I will need to attend one intensive in person in Oxford (late September). *

This is a required aspect of participating in the course.

I am aware that I will need to pay the course cost and additionally fund any travel/accommodation to Oxford for the intensive in September. *

Please indicate whether you are interested in attending the Hybrid Course track of the Summer School in July 2027 (in addition to the required September intensive). *

Students attending the Summer School will be offered an exclusive price of for both One Year course and Summer School (Normal Summer School cost: £640). Students will attend a special track with small-group teaching and further practical training, as well as the main Summer School events.

I will need a bursary to assist with paying for the cost of the course. Please note that any bursary funding is awarded on a discretionary basis. *

As OCCA is a charity, any bursary money available is purely at the generosity of our donors. We can offer payment plans to spread the cost of the course if that is helpful.

Is there anything else you would like to ask us about the course, or anything else you would like to tell us?
