Offering a deep dive into specialist areas also covered by the Oxford Executive MBA, our five postgraduate, master's-level Executive Diploma programmes are designed for experienced professionals to refine their advanced expertise and drive superior performance.
Delivered in a part-time format of four, four-day modules taught in Oxford over one year, the diploma programmes enable busy executives to continue with their full-time work commitments without compromising on the learning experience.
The Oxford Executive Diplomas centre on five specialisms, honing in on both the academic theory behind current organisational and global challenges and the practical approaches through which to navigate them successfully.
I secured a new job with a scaling FinTech – a career move that I have been targeting for seven years. Achieving this ambition can be directly attributed to my experiences and learnings from the Diploma in Strategy and Innovation and my cohort.
You and your peers will be experienced professionals from around the world with an average of over 15 years’ work experience.

The teaching and the lessons I’ve learned will stay with me, as will the friendships and connections. There’s still much to continue to digest, roll around, process, apply-learn-and-reapply around strategic thinking. What a wonderful thrill!
As an Executive Diploma participant, you will benefit from a variety of unique Oxford experiences. These include:
Whilst the Executive Diplomas are stand-alone postgraduate qualifications, the programmes also offer a route towards the Oxford Executive MBA. Should diploma participants choose to pursue the Executive MBA, and gain a place on the programme, they will receive exemptions from four module assessments, as well as a fee reduction. Attendance will be required at all modules, regardless of assessment exemption.
