Oxford Elevate

“This was by some distance the best course I have ever completed. The calibre of education and fellow participants was on another level — I learnt so much from the classes and from my peers.”

— Matthew McCracken, Natwest, 2025 Economics for Business Leaders Participant

“Seeing how economic concepts fit together helped me understand exactly where they apply in my role and in our wider strategic decisions. The session made complex economic ideas easy to follow and directly relevant to the challenges we face as a business." 

— Chirag Parmar, Shell, Tailored Programme Participant

“You have access to world class economists – you are immersed in their thinking and you take time out of your busy schedule to challenge, debate and learn, both with experts and with the other participants on the course. I think that is what sets it apart from other courses I’ve done. The lecturers and guest speakers are all top class and so its a very worthwhile investment. You can then put that learning into practice when you return to the day-job. Additionally, with the group work, case studies and debating that you do as part of the programme, it helped to build my confidence in areas where I lacked self-belief.”

— Maeve McMahon, President EMEA, OFX, 2016 Delegate. 

“Strong economic insight is essential for most business leaders, and for those who haven’t gained it earlier in their careers, the OUBEP summer programme offers a valuable opportunity to bridge that gap.”

— Vis Nayar, CIO, Eastspring Investments, 2024 Delegate
