Overview
Step into an Oxford college and broaden your global view through business study and international exchange.
The Oxford MBA Winter Programme 2027 is an immersive short programme for managers and professionals who want to strengthen their business management capability. Based in Oxford from 8 to 17 February 2027, participants experience college life and the academic atmosphere of one of the world's great university cities, with study visits to London and Cambridge.
Four themes run through the programme: digital transformation and adaptive leadership, international finance and capital markets, global strategy and geopolitical risk, and innovation strategy and business models. Teaching combines lectures, case-based seminars and team work, and ends with a capstone — an Oxbridge-style debate or a business pitch to a mock investor panel. This is short-term business management training, not an MBA degree.
