The
Oxford MBA programme is a one-year course comprising an intensive
series of stimulating lectures, energetic seminars, intensive small
group work, and team project work, which can take students anywhere in
the world. A key aim of the programme is to develop your ability to
think logically, laterally and independently.
The course initially focuses upon building a broad foundation of theoretical knowledge about business through core modules in subjects ranging from accountancy to strategy, and from managerial economics to organisational analysis.
Once these core building blocks are
in-place, students can take advantage of the Oxford MBA’s extremely
flexible course structure by tailoring elective choices to
suit target career paths and choosing whether to spend the summer
working upon a strategic consulting project, completing an internship,
undertaking an individual academic thesis or auditing additional
elective courses.
There is also a strong practical emphasis embedded within the course through project work.
Students undertake an entrepreneurship project at the start of the
second term and can choose to work upon a strategic consulting project
in the summer. Many electives also have a strong practitioner focus
through being co-taught by faculty and industry experts.
