Provider description

Oxford Business College is an independent education and training establishment situated in the centre of Oxford, close to many of the university colleges, and therefore in a perfect position to enjoy all the facilities the city has to offer.

The College has always been at the forefront of education and training providing a number of business management courses in Oxford. 20 years ago we introduced the University Foundation Programme, a modular course that is suitable for university entry, without A-levels. The College now has a Higher National Certificate (HNC) and a Higher National Diploma (HND), which provides students with access to a University of Sunderland 1 year top-up degree at Oxford Business College. Alternatively, students can apply to study their Degree at a UK university, starting in either the second year (after successfully completing the HNC) or the third year (after successfully completing the HND).

The College has also teamed up with the University of Sunderland for their top-up Master of Business Administration (MBA). The course consists of a 9 month Diploma in Management Studies (DMS), a renowned qualification in its own right, followed by a top-up MBA.

The College has a number of qualifying courses, from 3 to 9 months duration, which gives students who do not meet our entry standards the chance to gain an acceptable entry qualification. For the past 16 years the College has been delivering Professional Marketing courses at Oxford, administered by the Chartered Institute of Marketing CIM) and more recently we have been delivering corporate training courses to delegates from Ernst & Young (Japan) in Business Communication techniques.

Thus, the 'choice' at the College covers virtually every tier of learning, from preparatory courses for degrees through to qualifying courses for University Masters programmes. The College is also now in a position to offer fully accredited and recognized University degrees and Masters programmes.

Flexibility
The Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND) allows students to start their studies in September, January, April and July with the majority of subjects being assessed rather examined - students can either remain at the College to complete their Degree course or can go on to a wide selection of top UK universities, starting in either the second or third year, after successfully completing the HNC and HND respectively.

Similarly, the Masters Qualifying Programme (MQP), degree courses and the MBA all have flexible start dates with examinations being held at least twice a year and also four times a year.

Opportunity
The success of the College stems from the opportunities available to students on completion of their course of study. The HNC and HND can either give direct entry into university (without A-levels), on either the second or third year of a degree programme, or provide an entry qualification for a professional course, such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing's Professional Certificate / Professional Diploma. They can also be used as a stepping stone into employment.

Whether it is a business or marketing course that you wish to study, or a degree and Masters qualification, the College, with its 20 year's of experience, is able to offer you guidance and help on a one-to-one basis.
