Diploma in Strategy and Innovation | Outline

Overview

The diploma combines the highest standards of academic rigour with a practical approach to strategy and innovation.

Central to the design of the Oxford Executive Diplomas is the dual focus on the academic theory (thinking) behind current organisational and global challenges, and the practical approaches (doing) through which to successfully navigate them.

Led by Programme Director Tim Galpin, the Oxford Executive Diploma in Strategy and Innovation offers a unique focus on the relationship and interdependencies between these two concepts over four core modules.

You can choose to apply to one of two available cohorts. You must be able to attend all of the module dates for your chosen cohort, as changing classes during the diploma is not permitted.
