I would like to warmly welcome you to Oxford Media & Business School and I hope
this brief tour will encourage you to visit us and learn more about our students
and what we offer. The atmosphere here at OMBS is warm and supportive with
students who enjoy a balance between the intensity of the three term
Professional Business Diploma course and the university student lifestyle in the
city. Our ambitions for our students are wide-ranging. As well as acquiring the
all-important technical skills we also know that soft skills are equally
important. Each year we look forward to seeing our students graduate at the end
of the course confident and inspired for their future. I look forward to meeting
you and sharing further my pride in leading this outstanding college. Many
colleges, most notably those at university level, deliver training principally
through large lectures, often with as many as 200 students at a time. Whilst
this presents few disadvantages to more experienced students who want to study
an academic subject in depth, many students would benefit from a greater level
of individual attention in a smaller class environment learning practical
hands-on-skills essential for effective job performance. OMBS offers a unique
combination of excellent facilities, small class sizes, personal tutors and a
relaxed friendly environment. As a small college we know every student
individually and see them grow throughout their time here reaching levels of
expertise they never thought they would achieve. We support them through their
academic work as well as their personal experiences. What we provide our
students here at OMBS is the chance to gain the advanced skills they need to
tackle that first step of their career. They leave here feeling confident and
capable about their future. A large number of our students come to OMBS because
they have heard about what it is like being a student here at college and in
Oxford; because one of their family has been before; or because their school has
reassured them that this is the right place and the right course for them. We
are lucky to be located in the very heart of Oxford, in St Aldate’s, opposite
the beautiful Christ Church Meadow, surrounded by beautiful buildings and
historic colleges of the University. This is a wonderful opportunity to study in
Oxford for a year.
