As a School, we focus on tackling systemic challenges. The challenges of structural racism and discrimination on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, disability and other factors are persistent elements of our society.
We work together to make Oxford Saïd a place in which everyone feels included and welcome.
Oxford Saïd strives to be the business school of choice for all. Diversity and inclusion are central to our culture, our decision making and our working relationships.
Gender equality in both the workforce and education is crucial for ensuring future success.
This year 48% of our MBA cohort are women, but our work continues to increase female representation across all of our programmes and within our faculty. We are committed to delivering inclusive programming and careers content to develop women on their leadership journey.

We have worked hard to ensure our spaces and website are accessible and continue to make improvements all the time.
This film is a series of conversations organised by members of the 2020 MBA cohort. It was their response as a class to the displays of anti-black racism that captured the attention of the international community in May of 2020.
'Our conversations and actions against racism were far from perfect, but they were a helpful starting point for our class, and hopefully the wider School community. The goal was to encourage everyone affiliated with the School to step into those uncomfortable spaces, to hold each other and our school accountable, even when it feels like change is slow to come.
We hope this video continues to serve as a reminder to speak up, share your thoughts and feelings on systemic issues like racism. You will not only hold those around you accountable, but you will find friends and allies you did not know you had, and in doing so, build a stronger, safer community for everyone.'

In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the importance of supporting wellbeing and mental health.
