Oxford Prospects Programmes was founded by a group of Oxford University alumni from different backgrounds, whose lives have been greatly enriched by their time spent studying and working at the University. We believe passionately in the importance of cross-cultural communication in this increasingly globalized world, and our mission is to promote academic and cultural exchange between the UK (specifically Oxford) and other countries. Our projects and events include: 1) International cultural meetings and discussion events; 2) Visits to Oxford for university presidents and other academic leaders; 3) Short courses for overseas university staff and students; 4) Assistance with exchange programmes run by other organisations, such as visiting student programmes at Oxford colleges and the Look China scheme run by Beijing Normal University.
