Oxford Executive Finance Programme

The turbulent nature of the current business climate has highlighted the impact that social, technological, and governmental disruption can have on an organisation. Now, more than ever, you need a firm comprehension of finance in order to participate in financial decision-making and discussions, and deliver value to your company.

On the Oxford Executive Finance Programme from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford you’ll gain the practical knowledge and skills to understand the finances of any organisation and how they make decisions. Over the course of six weeks, you’ll also explore corporate finance in terms of capital structure, taxation and bankruptcy, and investigate the trade-offs of funding through an analysis of debt versus equity and how this choice affects an investment project’s valuation.

Through analysing current industry debates and critical expert insights, you’ll discover the key topics that are changing practices in the fast-moving world of finance, such as corporate governance, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. By the end of the programme, you’ll be able to leverage finance as part of your executive toolkit to make more informed, strategic decisions and improve overall business performance.
