Principal’s Welcome

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.

OMBS offers a unique combination of excellent facilities, small class sizes, personal tutors and a relaxed and friendly environment.

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.

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.

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.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing further my pride in leading this outstanding college.

Andrea Freeman, Principal

“We couldn’t have asked for more from OMBS; not only has she learned some of the most relevant workplace skills which will stay with her for life, but she also grew as a person with the individual care that you all gave her. Thank you for everything!”

Oxford Media & Business School - An outstanding alternative to university

British Accreditation Council (BAC) inspection 2019 report summary states:

The focus of the course and its assessment is to provide training in practical skills rather than theoretical concepts. The course content and its assessment have been designed to ensure the students’ employability. To assist with the design of the course, input into its content to ensure it is fit for purpose is provided by industry representatives, through the close links with employers and recruitment agencies.

The Principal has a strong focus in the students’ welfare and the group tutors also play an important role in ensuring the students feel safe and secure whilst studying on the course. Mock interviews form part of the final term and each student leaves with a job search plan. This aspect of the course is a real strength of OMBS. Students have access to excellent support and advice on career opportunities following graduation from the diploma course“.
