“Extremely stimulating and thought-provoking experience and ideas – the speakers’ wisdom was both profound and practical. Content, curriculum and venue were all extremely effective in bringing us to the next level of high performance in negotiations.”

The Oxford Programme on Negotiation is a five-day residential course, held at our Executive Education Centre just outside Oxford.

The course structure is a mix of interactive lectures, discussions, case studies, role-play, simulations and informal seminars, all led by world-class academics and practitioners. Lively evenings at Oxford’s colleges, with talks by distinguished dinner speakers, will round off the programme.

On the Sunday afternoon, after registration, there will be an optional two-hour walking tour of Oxford colleges, preceded by a short illustrated talk.
