Overview

Oxford International Study Centre

Oxford International Study Centre (OISC) is a private tutorial college and language school based in the heart of Oxford, UK, with a reputation for excellence in delivering a range of language, academic, and corporate training programmes at all academic levels. OISC was established in 2006, and senior management had occupied similar posts in two other international Colleges before that date.

OISC is located on St Aldates, in the very centre of Oxford, between Christ Church and the Town Hall. The study centre occupies a beautiful and historic building, with many original features, and houses 10 classrooms, as well as office space, common rooms, and private study areas. In fact, it’s the lovely red building you can see in the beautiful watercolour painting of St Aldates above, by our friend, local artist Katherine Shock.

The quality of education and training is first rate: we have been awarded the highest grade (‘exceeds expectations’) at every inspection in the last ten years by the Independent Schools’ Inspectorate (ISI). The quality of training and education offered by OISC is further attested to by a wide range of accreditations and professional memberships.

Flexibility: many of the programmes are tailor made to best meet the requirements of the individual student or client company;
Excellent contacts with the University, enabling students and clients to be taught in the Colleges of the University in the vacations. Fully residential courses in the University are offered in summer and , subject to status, arrangements can be made for visiting academics to become members of the University libraries;
High calibre tutors and visiting speakers from academe or business;
A range of over twenty subject specialisms, enabling, for example, a student to combine academic English with a University preparation programme;
Strong links with a large number of British and European Schools, enabling younger students to prepare for entry to some of the best Boarding Schools;
Good links with Oxford, Cambridge and other leading universities, and provision of individual educational counselling for students who wish to apply to a British University;

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY OF THE SCHOOL

Please note that the refund and cancellation policy for groups is different, and each group has its own separate agreement.
A total refund (less registration fee, accommodation service fee, any expenses – eg. courier fee – and administration fee of £100) is payable when:
✔ A visa application has been rejected, an appeal has been made, and the two letters of rejection are shown.
✔ 30 days’ cancellation notice is given, before the course begins
✔ Evidence is produced concerning death or serious illness involving the student or their immediate family.

Important note: Students using a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to apply for a Student Visa (previously Tier 4) must use an approved visa application service, and send a full copy of the application documentation to OISC before submission. If these are not submitted, or an application is refused due to a clearly avoidable student/agent error, the above refund policy is void and any refunds offered are discretionary. Such refusals can put the Student Sponsor Licence of the college in serious jeopardy.

Students registered for programmes of more than one term in duration must give a term’s notice in writing if they do not wish to complete their programme, or pay one term’s fees .

A 50% refund is payable when 15-29 days’ cancellation notice is given, before the course begins.
A 25% refund is payable when 7-14 days’ cancellation notice is given, before the course begins.
No refund of deposit or fees paid is made to students who cancel courses with less than one week’s notice (i.e. Monday to Friday) or after commencement, or to students who fail to arrive in Oxford after a CAS has been issued and a visa granted, even if notice is given.

Any student who is found to have submitted any forged, or otherwise not genuine document as part of their application to OISC, or visa application, will automatically forfeit their right to any refund payment.

These refund conditions refer to tuition, accommodation, and all other payments.

These also apply to cancellation or delay due to circumstances beyond our control, eg. cancelled flights, and you are advised to take out insurance against such events before travelling.
Some important issues:
1. Cancellations or shortening of courses after Visa has been issued No refunds are granted to students failing to arrive or who are absent during their course.
2. Periods of absence are not compensated with free extensions at the end of the course.
3. In the case of students being granted a visa, non-arrivals, late arrivals and periods of absence will be reported to the immigration authorities.
