The Oxford Scholastica Academy (OSA) Online Research Internships offer ambitious students a premium, globally accessible online experience. As Europe's #1 rated academic summer school, we provide an unparalleled opportunity for students to gain practical research experience from anywhere in the world. Under the guidance of expert mentors and top-tier academics, interns dive deep into their chosen fields. Rather than taking standard classes, students work collaboratively in small groups to conduct undergraduate-level research, developing critical analytical skills and deep subject matter expertise. The defining feature of the internship is the opportunity to co-author an academic research paper. Completed papers are published in our academic journal, OxJournal. This tangible, highly prestigious outcome gives your students a powerful differentiator for their university applications and future CVs. Interns also benefit from career-focused mentoring and graduate with a Certificate of Achievement and a Personalised Letter of Recommendation. This provides agents and schools with a highly attractive programme that delivers proven, measurable results for university-bound students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do participants receive a certificate upon completion of the program?

Upon completion, you’ll receive a Certificate of Achievement and a personalised Letter of Recommendation from your mentor. You will leave with a deeper understanding of your chosen field, a global network, and real research experience. Crucially, you will have the chance to publish your work in an online academic journal, giving you a powerful, shareable link for future university applications.

What advantages does an online internship offer?

Experience university-level research in a supportive online environment. Learn from expert mentors, develop valuable skills, and co-author a paper for publication in an academic journal. Upon completing the programme, you’ll earn a Certificate of Achievement to boost your university applications, with top students also receiving a personalised Letter of Recommendation from their mentor.

What qualifications do I need to join an online internship?

  1. You must be aged between 15 and 18 years old at the start of your chosen internship.
  2. You must be motivated to learn more about the subject you wish to intern for (there's space for you to write a personal statement on our registration form).
  3. You must be able to speak, read, and understand English well. Though we require no formal testing, our minimum English level is Common European Framework Level B2, which equates to IELTS 6.5.

When is the best time to submit my application?

There is no fixed deadline as we assess applications on a rolling basis until we’re full. We have a limited number of places which tend to become fully booked early in the year, especially for our more popular internships. You can view our availability on our website.

What are your terms for cancellations?

We understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule your internship dates or cancel your place entirely, you have 14 days from the date of your payment to receive a full refund unless the internship has started.
