Virscend Oxford/Cambridge Global Leadership Program – Summer 2026

The inaugural Virscend Oxford/Cambridge Global Leadership Program takes place from 2 to 8 August 2026, with participants living and studying in residence at St. Hilda's College, University of Oxford. Enrollment closes on 12 June 2026, and places are limited.

The programme is designed for students seeking exposure to global perspectives on artificial intelligence, geopolitics, innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, delivered through an executive-style residential learning experience at one of the world's most historically significant academic institutions. Participants engage with guest speakers and thought leaders drawn from global business, policy, and academia, and earn an Oxford certificate on completion of the programme. The programme is led by Dr. Sean Jasso, a Virscend University faculty member who has led academic delegations to Oxford for nearly two decades.

The programme is described as the first international leadership initiative launched through Virscend University, a private institution based in Irvine, California. Interested applicants should contact the programme directly for information on fees, curriculum, and eligibility, as these details are not publicly listed at the time of writing.
