Events
Corporate Presentations
This remains one of the most popular ways of meeting students. These generally take place in the evening, and typically we suggest you allow one hour for presentation and Q&A, followed by 30-45 minutes of general networking, In practice sessions can run for longer but it is likely that most students will have academic obligations in the form of assignments which will mean they will only remain for the allotted period.
Presentations take place in one of the School’s state-of-the-art lecture theatres. Powerpoint files can be mailed to Careers in advance or loaded from a memory stick.
Panel participation
Throughout the year we organise a series of industry-specific panels to give students the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of a range of employers in a particular sector. Like the Corporate Presentation, the plenary session lasts around an hour with the opportunity for networking afterwards.
Targeted events
These are much smaller events, aimed at a particular group of students that match a profile sought by the employer. These events can be lunches, dinners, seminars, discussions etc. Employers can obtain access to our student CV database and run detailed searches to focus on the students who meet their criteria. Careers staff can also help employers identify suitable candidates.
Student Visits to Corporate Headquarters
In the event that employers find it logistically difficult to come on campus, they may opt to invite a group of MBA students to their offices instead. These events have proved popular with MBAs in the past, as they are able to tour the corporate headquarters, learn about the different parts of the business and experience the company’s work culture. Employers can obtain access to our student CV database and run detailed searches to focus on the students who meet their criteria, or the Careers staff can also help employers identify suitable candidates.
Advertise a Vacancy
Employers can use our CareerConnect online system to post and manage an unlimited number of jobs, as well as set parameters for the job openings. The system can manage the applications, and send email reminders to employers when a student applies for a job, or when the posting is about to expire.

Work Placements and Internships
MBA Students:
Strategic Consulting Projects (SCPs)
In July and August, MBA course teams of four students carry out consultancy projects in partnership with businesses. Projects focus on an issue of major importance to the future strategic direction of an organisation, or one of its divisions, and are carried out over a two-month period. Students are multi-lingual and globally mobile and can therefore operate effectively in any international environment. At the end of the project, you will receive practical recommendations in the format you require. For MBA consultancy projects, in addition to covering expenses incurred in the project, the sponsor may decide to offer a performance bonus based on the team achieving objectives set by the organisation.
Appoint an Intern
MBA and MFE students can choose to pursue an internship in July & August for a maximum period of 9 weeks. These positions can be publicised via the events described above or by individual job postings.
Other Programmes:
Working with Masters in Engineering Students: Project Placements
Oxford University's Engineering and Economics Departments have combined with the Saïd Business School to offer a four-year Masters in Engineering (or Materials), Economics and Management. A 24-week period of industrial placement forms an integral part of the programme. The projects that students complete need to be discrete pieces of work of value to the sponsor, even if they form part of a larger project currently underway. A student could, for example, develop logistics models, project appraisal systems or accounting procedures. Masters in Engineering students negotiate their own salary for a fixed-term contract. The offer is usually based around a typical graduate entry salary with similar terms and conditions of employment.
Longer-term Research: Working with MSc Students
The MSc in Management Research is a one-year postgraduate programme. As a major component of this programme, students are required to complete a research project and write it up as a dissertation. Some of these research projects are carried out in commercial, public and / or voluntary organisations and are based on real-life management problems. They may address any aspect of operational management – marketing, finance, HRM etc. – as well as inter-corporate relations and matters of concern in the business environment. The research runs from January to August each year, with students spending around eight weeks engaged in full-time fieldwork. Host organisations are not expected to contribute financially to the work done by students on the MSc in Management Research.
Work with Student Societies
Each year students organise business focused societies known as Oxford Business Networks (OBNs). Working with OBNs is a good way for employers to meet students who have an express interest in their industry and who take a pro-active interest in organising and attending events with this focus. The leadership of OBNs is generally determined by late October, and we can facilitate an introduction to these groups.
