The Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford is a powerhouse of financial expertise. Our faculty are pushing the boundaries of business thinking. They conduct world class research and advise corporations, public bodies and governments.
We have many distinguished alumni in the financial world, as well as those who are using the financial acumen they acquired at the School to succeed in their ventures; and we attract students of the highest calibre to study on distinctive programmes such as the MSc in Financial Economics and the Diploma in Financial Strategy.
Our finance programmes reflect the latest thinking on subjects ranging from capital raising techniques to corporate valuation, and from hedge funds to private equity. These courses are often taught by academics and industry practitioners working in partnership to ensure that cutting edge research is blended with real-life application. Nearly half the electives offered on our MBA programme are now finance-related.
One of the distinguishing features of finance at Oxford is its multi-disciplinary nature. This is reflected in the work of our research centres, which include the Oxford Finance Research Centre, the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance and the Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation. These centres are addressing some of the big questions facing organisations in the twenty-first century.
