The five-day immersive summer course, titled "Next Generation of Business Leaders," offered students both theoretical frameworks and practical tools to tackle modern management challenges. Taught by leading academics and industry experts, the curriculum integrated core pillars of modern management, from leadership and entrepreneurship to artificial intelligence, strategic market positioning, and impactful communication.
One of the coordinators of the program, Jose Antonio Álfaro states: "This seminar has enabled students to see entrepreneurship and innovation as a ‘way of doing things’ and to become leaders in all areas of life, both personal and professional.”
The initiative was coordinated by members of the business department and overseen by program heads Marcel Meyer and José Antonio Alfaro, who accompanied the cohort alongside Professor Elena Sanjurjo.
On-site international seminars have served as a central pillar of the School of Economics and Business’ strategic learning vision since 2022. Building on the School’s efforts to enable students to travel to key cities and institutions in New York, Washington, London, Frankfurt, and Brussels, this course at the University of Oxford, designed for the General Management & Strategy and the Dirección de Empresas y Estrategia programs, represents another key milestone in expanding international academic opportunities beyond the standard curriculum.
