Oxford University: Said Business School
The Saïd Business School is fully integrated into one of the world’s greatest universities. This allows you to draw on Oxford’s strengths across a range of subjects, including sociology, economics, law, psychology, politics and international relations. Working at the interface of disciplines, faculty and researchers are mining rich new insights into issues such as the politics of global business, the rise of science entrepreneurship, the management of innovation, and the social and commercial impact of information systems and the Internet. By collaborating actively with faculty from other disciplines, they are aiming to transcend the traditional functional divisions of a business school in order to reflect the complex realities of business and society in today’s global economy.
The Saïd Business School plays a dynamic role in setting the future agenda in the business arena. Their faculties are all at the forefront of their fields and provide intellectual leadership for institutions such as the European Commission, the European Corporate Governance Institute and the World Bank. They are committed to helping organisations stay ahead, whether by furthering theri understanding of the Chinese marketplace, or by identifying the strategic demands of high-tech companies.

BA in Economics and Management:
The BA in Economics and Management is jointly offered by the Saïd Business School and the Department of Economics. The subjects are ideal intellectual partners, each particularly fitted to strengthen and cross-fertilise the other. Economics provides the broader understanding of economic activity within which all organisations function; management in turn analyses the character and goals of that functioning.
Throughout the degree the theoretical and the applied are firmly welded together, whether in macroeconomics, marketing or information management. Each course orientates its subject in a broad intellectual and social context. Accounting, for example, is not studied simply as a self-contained body of technical expertise (although this is fully covered) but also as a tool for decision-making, for evaluating performance and for understanding the organisation and its positioning and relationships.
While the BA in Economics and Management covers all the core areas of both subjects, it is also notable for the range of options it makes available - some 20 in all. These options allow students great flexibility to compose their own course in accordance with their individual interests and career needs.

Campus:
The courtyard
A key feature of the new building is the provision of informal working areas. There are numerous open spaces throughout, including cloistered walkways and a large internal courtyard - all of which help foster informal interaction between students, faculty and visitors. Professor Anthony Hopwood, formerly Peter Moores Dean of the School, comments: “I call these ‘democratic spaces’ because of the ease of interaction which they facilitate.”
The common room
The common room is a relaxed area for easy socialising with fellow students, faculty and staff. The common room is a large semicircular space with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the School's landscaped grounds. These contain the Fellow's Garden, a place for quiet reflection, and the remains of Rewley Abbey, the very first seat of learning in Oxford. During the summer, students can also relax in the large internal courtyard or sit in the 300-seat amphitheatre, which allows excellent views of the surrounding countryside.
The Sainsbury Library
The School’s Library and Information Services comprise the two-floor state-of-the-art Sainsbury Library and the award-winning Virtual Library, an electronic gateway to a wealth of business information. The Sainsbury Library’s lower floor contains the library and IT helpdesk, a short loan collection, a rolling stack, an informal seating area and over 40 study desks, many of which are equipped with PCs. The upper reading room, with its distinctive vaulted ceiling and impressive views, is intended for quiet research and holds 90 fully-networked study desks.
The Nelson Mandela Lecture Theatre
Most classes take place in one of four wood-panelled lecture theatres, with desks, each with its own network connection, arranged in a horseshoe pattern to facilitate open discussion. These theatres contain dual screens to enable simultaneous use of a range of visual media, and there are numerous seminar and project rooms for small group work. There is also a 300-seat theatre to cater for larger-scale lectures.
