The History
Founded at the seat of knowledge with a 700+ years' heritage of imparting education, Oxford Business College emphasises polishing intellectual and human potential. At its inception in the latter half of the last century, the College offered A-Level courses to students who wanted to improve their school examination performance to attend a good university. From that humble beginning, it evolved into a College that has won tremendous accolades as one of the most desirable undergraduate study destinations in the Independent Higher Education sector.

It’s where you choose to go…”

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
The independent Board of Governors (BoG) and an experienced Senior Management Team (SMT) provide the leadership to the College.
The BoG plays a vital role in the strategic development and performance of the College. The Board also enables the College to operate effectively and oversees progress against the strategic goals and the accountability of the executive group. Our BoG comprises highly respected and experienced members of academia and business.
Whilst the BoG takes on a monitoring and oversight role, it delegates the executive powers to the Senior Management Team (SMT) of the College. This team is responsible for designing, developing and implementing the strategy. The driver for the strategic growth of the College, the SMT is responsible for efficiently running the College within the legal framework and ensuring it meets students’ needs.
