    Beyond The Classroom

    "Studying at Oxford College of Business definitely gave me a lot of knowledge, but more importantly, it built me into a more competent person...

    It gave me confidence and changed my presence. When I talk about things, it's not just based on my own industry experience – it's about a lot of things working together. I look at things from a more holistic approach, which means looking at the whole business model, including strategy, governance, capabilities, and financial management. The in-class sessions allowed for deeper, focused discussions on key course topics, which I found to be efficient and effective in learning important concepts. I found the lecturers to be highly engaged and accessible when I needed additional support and really enjoyed the opportunity to meet peers within the local business community and to hear how their experiences translated to our course lessons "
