It’s come to that time now in the MBA where pervasively everyone is saying, “How has time gone so quickly?” It’s not as if we don’t know that it is going to be a fast and intense year. Believe me, we are told that probably 20 times before we ever step foot in Oxford. But […]

“What type of MBA is the one in Oxford? Do you guys specialise in Finance, Business Management or Social Impact?” The truth is that fortunately there is no specialisation in the Oxford MBA, all of us come from such different backgrounds that the whole class and the resources available in Oxford make it a rich […]
