Ch 30: Oxford Surprise #2
Fire hose?
Try geyser.
It's a common phrase in the states to compare business school to drinking from a fire hose. But most schools are two years. The Oxford program is one and you surely feel it. A two year course may have 21 credits (like HBS). The Oxford program has 18 credits broken down by 3 terms. They are as follows:
Michaelmas (fall)- 6 core classes
Hillary (winter)- 4 core classes and 2 electives
Trinity (spring)- 6 electives
It's a great way to get a common grounding for everyone through the core classes while having the flexibility to allow students to explore their own unique interests through elective courses. Additionally there is a winter term Entrepreneurial Project and a summer long Strategic Consulting project. Overall a power packed 1 year ride. And one that you should come thirsty for- because this is no fire hose my friend, it's a full on geyser =).
