Interested in the Wadham Experience approach but looking for something different to the core programmes? We can also design and deliver custom programmes or events to match the requirements of larger groups from organisations; please get in touch to discuss.
The Wadham Experience methodology is centred around encouraging participants to take a step back, reflect and think critically, gain adaptability, new perspectives, the ability to focus, listen, and to innovate and problem-solve creatively.
Programme scholarships
The Wadham Experience is a commercial initiative designed to support the long-term mission of the charity of Wadham College in teaching and research, and widening access to Higher Education and Oxford. In line with this mission, there will be a limited number of scholarships available for the Wadham Experience 2026 designed to make the programme accessible to those who would benefit from it, create a diverse participant group, and promote excellence across a wide variety of sectors and demographics.
More information on scholarships for 2026 programmes will be here shortly.
