I'm delighted to welcome you to this introduction to the school. Magna Carta College, Oxford, is an independent business school founded by senior Oxford and Cambridge academics in 2008. With my experience in helping establish the MBA programme in Oxford University it specialises in MBA programmes, and in ExecutiveEducation. Our faculty and network of associate fellows have worked with Fortune 500 companies and international governments to deliver massive transformation in leadership, company culture and international strategy and vision.

We are deeply committed to bringing about change in the world through learning. Our faculty are addressing the key career challenge facing Generation Y and Millenials: how can they stand out from the competition? Our MBA is for many that key differentiator; with our Oxbridge faculty it provides learners with that opportunity, and our students are clear examples of the success of blended learning. My message has always been that blended learning is about you. Our students are part of our community, and our MBA fits around their lives and commitments. But most importantly, it gives them the clear Oxbridge advantage to reaching and exceeding their career goals.

I am incredibly impressed by the passion and enthusiasm being shown by those on our programmes. We are privileged to have some extraordinary talent studying with us, connecting to our community from all over the world, from remote areas of Africa to inner cities in South East Asia. These are people who will change their world, andthey inspire us on that journey.

I hope that what you will read will inspire you to join our community
