The thinking behind the programme

Through the programme, you will gain access to world-leading research to help you navigate the private market landscape. Research from Oxord Saïd faculty, and examples of industry case studies will form the platform to the teaching.

Ludovic Phalippou’s textbook Private Equity Laid Bare covers the jargon and mechanics of private equity using simplified examples, real-life situations and academic studies. The book, which features an Alice in Wonderland theme, will be adapted into a new version to fit the wider scope of this programme. Following Alice (an asset manager) in Wonderland (a new, exciting and complex land) and her faithful capital providers (asset owners Mad and Hatter), you’ll seamlessly become accustomed to the language, landscape and customs of private equity.
