a masters-level programme. Participants
develop a thorough understanding of
the principles of finance, strategy and
valuation which enables them to take their

This postgraduate diploma, and the
professionals who take it, make a

and corporate valuation. It is a unique
opportunity to broaden and enhance skills

The Diploma is for experienced finance

The Diploma programme is based on
four fast moving modules of teaching
from world leading experts in strategic
management, finance, and corporate
valuation.

4. programme
outline
Saïd Business School has
particularly rich expertise in the
areas of finance and strategy.
The Oxford Diploma in Financial
Strategy draws these together
to provide professionals with
a distinct intellectual edge
combined with a practical
understanding of business and
value creation.
The Diploma is completed
alongside participants’ full-time
role. The programme consists of
four core modules interspersed
by independent study and project
work. Each module is taught over
four days of intensive teaching
at Oxford, concentrating on one
subject at a time. The project
then integrates and applies
the insights gained to an area
of particular interest to the
participant or their organisation.

strategy
Strategy is the art of creating
superior performance. It defines
the business the organisation
is in, and how to structure and
manage the organisation for
long term success. This module
explains the process and practice
of formulating the strategy of
individual business units –
competitive strategy – and the
nature of strategy for the multi-business
firm – corporate strategy.
Participants develop the ability
to apply strategy models in the
structured analysis of business
issues and to devise and evaluate
future plans of action. They
consider how organisations align
internal resources and capabilities
with the external competitive and
macro-economic environment to
formulate strategy. Participants
develop the analytic skills of
a strategy consultant and the
ability to present, defend and
interrogate proposals in strategic
decision making.
finance i
This module identifies the
sources of investor value, and
uses them to think about portfolio
composition, investment choices,
and corporate financial decisions.
After a fast review of basic
concepts including the time
value of money, discounting, and
simple stock and bond valuation,
participants acquire a detailed
understanding of risk and return.
They use the Capital Asset Pricing
Model as the framework for a
detailed discussion of portfolio
theory and the cost of capital.
The insights generated from
this analysis are employed in a
discussion of cash flow analysis
and its application to investment
appraisal, and to business
entry and exit decisions. The
corporation’s financing choices
are related to tax considerations
and to a wider discussion of
agency effects within the firm.
finance ii
In this module we study applied
topics which exemplify the key
principles of finance. Participants
develop an understanding of how
and why firms go public, raise
equity and debt, acquire each
other – and go bust. We also
study financial options and risk
management techniques, focusing
on their use in corporate finance.
These topics inform participants’
understanding of principles
such as asymmetric information,
principal-agent problems and
market efficiency.
corporate valuation
This concluding module
incorporates knowledge
developed throughout the
programme and provides
the in-depth understanding
and ability to make optimal
strategic investment decisions.
In explaining the mechanics
of corporate valuation, we also
discuss how to create (and
destroy) corporate value. We
demonstrate that valuation is
not a precise science, and that
the strategic fit and successful
integration of projects is as
important as the calculation
and analysis of a number.
The programme sharpens
valuation skills in a variety of
contexts including the valuation
of human capital, firms in
financial distress, valuation
in a competitive environment
and in a private equity setting.
Applications include large-scale
investment projects,
brand launches, venture capital
investments, IPOs, mergers,
diversification decisions, R&D,
and joint ventures.
ACADEMIC ASESMENT
The Diploma is built on four core courses
that are completed module by module
within one year. Each module begins on
a Wednesday and concludes on Saturday
afternoon, allowing participants to combine
work with study. All four modules are
examined. Participants must pass all four
modules and a business project in order to be
awarded the Diploma. Participants who pass
and are awarded the Diploma are offered
the opportunity to receive their Diploma at a
traditional Oxford University ceremony.
BUSINES PROJECT
The Diploma concludes with a final project
report that integrates new insights from
the programme. The project report of up to
10,000 words will be based on current or
emerging specific strategic, organisational
issues taking place within the participant’s
own organisation or sector.

was exceptional and the networking opportunities way beyond my expectations.
Frequent contact with top decision making executives (CEOs/CFOs), elaborate
discussions on the financial strategies of their organisations, application of
theory in the real corporate environment, and the development of on-going
friendships are all priceless. I’ve observed immense changes in my knowledge
over the duration of this programme.”

The programme is for finance professionals,
and general managers looking to equip
themselves to lead the financial and business
strategy of their organisation. Participants
typically have ten years’ professional
experience, and must have a minimum
of five years plus a good first degree.
Participants learn as part of a highly
experienced and qualified group from across
the globe. They represent all industry and
public sectors, in addition to financial
services, and range from independent
specialist consultancies, through medium-sized
businesses, to multinational
corporations and financial institutions.
The unique group offers an unparalleled
opportunity for peer to peer learning, high
level discussion and international networking.

Financial Services
I am Head of Business
Partnering and Reporting for
Shared Services at Skandia
UK. My role is diverse and
covers many aspects of
finance, from sales reporting
to risk management of
finance to all the statutory
and regulatory reporting for
the UK group. I came on the
Oxford Diploma in Financial
Strategy to stretch myself and
improve my capability at the
strategic level. I believe that
it is essential, particularly in
today’s climate, to be able to
understand the bigger picture
and analyse proposals which
will help Skandia meet the ever
changing needs of the market.
I found the programme rigorous
and intellectually challenging.
The quality of the teaching
faculty is exceptional and
it is a privilege to be part of
the Oxford world. For me, an
unforeseen and invaluable
benefit was the opportunity
to meet so many people from
different geographical and
professional backgrounds and
to debate issues and form
relationships with them.
I liked the fact that the
programme is introduced with
the business strategy module.
It really set the scene for the
rest of the programme and
provides the wider context and
foundation for the application
of the financial aspects. Some
of the material was a refresh
from professional training and
other material was entirely
new which I found stretching
and enjoyable.
The programme has widened
my knowledge and challenged
some of my original ideas and
assumptions. It has helped
to lift me out of my specialist
area and show how I can help
others see how the financial
strategy supports the overall
business strategy and aims of
the organisation.
I decided to take the Oxford
Diploma in Financial Strategy
to update and perfect my
knowledge since my MBA taken
20 years ago and my PhD
six years ago. The experience
in Oxford is unique and
extraordinary. The modules are
excellent on theoretical and
practical levels.
I particularly enjoyed Professor
Morrison’s Finance I module,
which helped me rebuild a
strong theoretical foundation
for the application of project
evaluations and investment
decisions. The leveraged buy-out
techniques in Finance II
were also a very useful tool for
evaluating M&A projects for
my firm.
Classmates are all elites in
the financial and banking
industries. I treasured the
opportunity of discussing
strategic issues with them.
The Diploma is definitely
worthwhile, even to those
with extensive experience
in corporate finance or
investment banking.

I own my own company
advising governments or
companies on financial
matters. I am currently advising
the government of Kazakhstan
on restructuring their
banking sector, with specific
responsibility for two banks
with US$18bn under advisory.
I attended the Oxford Diploma
in Financial Strategy because I
wanted to re-test my financial
knowledge and re-challenge
certain concepts. It is good to
test yourself with colleagues
who have a lot of experience.
It’s one thing to learn the
theory when you are 21 but
quite another when you revisit
those concepts with 17 years of
experience under your belt.
The programme piqued my
interest to the point that I
progressed onto the full Oxford
Executive MBA. I found it an
effective academic foundation
and the class around me
provided a challenging overlay.
Bonds were forged which
made the programme truly
memorable. The entire group
was one you would want to
be associated with and we
worked in a very conducive
environment. If you are
considering taking the Diploma,
my advice would be do it, but
be aware that it is going to
be harder than you thought –
which is a good thing.

The Diploma has certainly
provided that bridge. It has
given me the opportunity to
learn from esteemed instructors
and to discuss financial and
strategic ideas with top-level
executives from around the
world. The modular aspect also
allowed me to continue my full-time
job, a tremendous benefit
in its own right.
The Oxford Diploma in
Financial Strategy has been,
without a doubt, the right
programme for me to develop
the financial understanding
and strategic outlook that I
need to perform at the top

added benefit. I know I will
