Are you ready to solve your greatest strategic challenges?
Advanced finance and strategy expertise is an organisation’s silver bullet for success in today’s challenging and uncertain business environment. Without this unique skillset and blend of specialist tools, you could risk overlooking key opportunities, potential pitfalls and delivering sub-par results, and ultimately forfeiting your competitive edge.
The Oxford Executive Diploma in Financial Strategy is designed to sharpen your strategic and financial toolkit and equip you with the advanced approach needed to effectively navigate new business scenarios and maximise value.
Immersive, interactive, and rigorous, this part-time, master’s-level programme consists of four modules taught in person in Oxford over one year:
1. Strategy
2. Business finance
3. Corporate valuation
4. Financial strategies for growth
Upon successful completion of this diploma, you will have developed an advanced approach to strategic investment decision-making, a holistic view of how to effectively execute and evaluate business initiatives, and a refined set of practical tools to make an immediate impact in your own organisation.
