Financial Times rankings highlight our world class Executive Education

Published

Our Executive Education Open programmes have been ranked sixth in the world and second in the UK, in the 2025 Financial Times Executive Education global rankings.

Open programmes rose one place on last year, which is partly based on surveys of participants and clients across 108 leading business schools, and is assessed across 14 measures. Highlights from this year’s report placed us: 

  • first in the world for international learning locations, for a second successive year
  • second for quality of our participants, a rise from fourth
  • tenth for the diversity of our faculty, a rise of 11 places
  • fifth for our number of international participants, up from tenth  

These results reflect that we are truly a global business school, that continues to attract very high quality learners....the strong diversity in our classrooms is a real strength, adding to the richness of our learners’ unique Oxford experience, whether in-person or online.

Managing Director for Executive Education

Louise added: 'It is pleasing to see us continue to rise-up the rankings, and take our place among the world leading Open Executive Education programmes.’ 

Executive Education at Oxford Saïd is soon to move to a new home. The Global Leadership Centre (GLC, pictured), currently under construction, is extension of our city centre campus. The GLC will be a modern environment, enabling seamless client and learner experiences and purpose-built for learning, convening and retreat. 

Louise added: ‘It’s rewarding to see how our strong foundation is delivering continued positive results. We are a forward-looking School and will continue to innovate and introduce new programmes to support the challenges leaders face in organisations next year. The Global Leadership Centre will also play a pivotal role too, and I look forward to working with colleagues as we create a dynamic and exciting future for Executive Education here, in the heart of Oxford, and the world’s greatest University.’
