Your MBA community

This Alliance exists to create an atmosphere of inclusivity, partnership, and allyship around the women of the Saïd Business School. Through meaningful discussions and informative events, we work to challenge conventional conceptions of women in business, and further cultivate the next generation of thought leaders and role models.

Our MBA students and alumni can join as members to have access to a range of activities. Current students can also apply to join the leadership committee to drive the women's agenda during their time on the MBA programme. 

‘Inspiring Women at Oxford Saїd’ is a programme of events, networking and talent development sessions designed to inspire and promote women’s professional and academic development throughout the community of students and alumnae of Saїd Business School. We want to ensure all our students have access to the best business minds in the world and encourage them to engage with our incredible line-up of events.

The Alliance provides a platform to stimulate a vigorous dialogue about business, investment and entrepreneurship in Africa. Through our students & alumni members, we are able to incorporate both practitioner and academic perspectives on how to do business on the continent and the opportunities that exist. 

MBA students can join as members of the Oxford Africa Business Alliance. It is jointly led by a School and student leadership committee. Members engage in and support the many African-related activities throughout the year and continue to support our vision as alumni. As members, students work together to generate new ideas that contribute to the schedule and are connected with other African related networks and groups.

Launched in 1998, the Oxford Saïd Alumni Network brings together individuals who share a common interest in business, ensuring an active network of emotionally and intellectually engaged alumni who support and further the School’s vision, and serve as proud ambassadors around the globe.

The network continues to expand and now boasts more than 27,000 members, comprised of our degree programme alumni, current post-graduate degree programme students, University of Oxford alumni interested in business and qualifying Executive Education participants.

The support and activity of our Oxford Saïd Alumni Network members contribute to the ongoing development and growth of the School – enhancing the experience for current and future students and alumni.

Our Oxford Business Networks (OBNs) are student-led networks which promote the exchange of ideas and knowledge surrounding sectors that reflect the core values of the School and the interests of its students. During your time in Oxford you will have the opportunity to become involved. They are open to students of our MBA, Executive MBA, MSc in Finance and Economics and MSc Law and Finance.

We have seven networks:

1. Climate & energy
2. Consulting
3. Entrepreneurship and innovation
4. Finance
5. Healthcare
6. Social impact
7. Technology

Leading one of our student clubs will provide you with an opportunity to shape yourself as a thought leader within your chosen industry or areas of interest. You can initiate and participate in clubs throughout the academic year, and have the chance to propose new clubs, or nominate yourself to continue the management of an existing club during Michaelmas term.

The School's Clubs also organise social events in keeping certain celebrations of culture and religion. It is important to note that clubs are solely student led, but also work closely with the MBA programme team to aid their success.
