Every OCAR programme is a fully bespoke, one-on-one experience. You are matched with a single Oxbridge, top UK, or Ivy League researcher who guides you through producing original academic work — at your pace, on your topic.
Both OCAR programmes are 1:1 online research experiences. The only difference is the level of mentorship and whether you want dedicated support working toward publication.

OCAR mentors are active researchers — PhD candidates — at Oxbridge, top UK, and Ivy League institutions. They bring genuine academic expertise and a commitment to nurturing the next generation of scholars.
Both programmes admit four cohorts a year on fixed deadlines — spaces are subject to mentor availability. The next deadline is Saturday, October 10, 2026, so apply early to secure your place.
