Oxford Royale welcomes students from more than 175 nations to its summer school programmes.

Founded in 2004, the institution provides education in fields such as medicine, engineering, business and law, across Oxford, Cambridge, and London.

George Humphreys, CEO of Oxford Royale, said: "We are delighted to receive this prestigious award, which serves as a testament to our commitment to providing transformative educational experiences for students worldwide, right here in the UK."

The King’s Awards for Enterprise has been recognising outstanding UK businesses for the last 58 years.

It is one of the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the King’s Awards emblem for the next five years.

The awards were previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, but were renamed last year to reflect the King’s desire to continue the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.

Oxford Royale, which has welcomed more than 30,000 students since it was founded, is a multi-award-winning international summer school for students aged 13-18.

It says it has "remained committed to fostering academic excellence and cultural diversity among its student body".
