Future of Business Summer School (Saïd Business School, University of Oxford)

The Future of Business Summer School is a two-week residential programme run by Saïd Business School for motivated students aged 16-18 who want to explore how AI, innovation, finance and strategy are reshaping organisations. Over the course you will learn from Oxford academics and industry experts through lectures, workshops and guest sessions, and collaborate with an international cohort to develop a project that translates insight into a practical proposal.

Week one builds foundations in strategy, systems thinking, innovation, finance and responsible AI. Week two focuses on applying those ideas in small teams to produce and pitch an AI-driven strategy proposal to a panel of mentors, culminating in a conference-style showcase and graduation.

The programme includes social activities, visits to heritage sites and nine months’ access to the University's online Entrepreneurship School. This is a residential on-campus experience: accommodation is provided in University of Oxford colleges, with three meals a day and 24/7 on-site security.

The programme is designed to strengthen problem-solving, communication and leadership skills and to help participants prepare for future study and careers in business and related fields.
