Magna Carta College, Oxford, is an independent business school founded by senior Oxford and Cambridge academics in 2008. With my experience in helping establish the MBA programme in Oxford University it specialises in MBA programmes, and in Executive Education. Our faculty and network of associate fellows have worked with Fortune 500 companies and international governments to deliver massive transformation in leadership, company culture and international strategy and vision. We are deeply committed to bringing about change in the world through learning. Our faculty are addressing the key career challenge facing Generation Y and Millenials: how can they stand out from the competition? Our MBA is for many that key dierentiator; with our Oxbridge faculty it provides learners with that opportunity, and our students are clear examples of the success of blended learning. My message has always been that blended learning is abou you. Our students are part of our community, and our MBA ts around their lives and commitments. But most importantly, it gives them the clear Oxbridge advantage to reaching and exceeding their career goals. I am incredibly impressed by the passion and enthusiasm being shown by those on our programmes. We are privileged to have some extraordinary talent studying with us, connecting to our community from all over the world, from remote areas of Africa to inner cities in South East Asia. These are people who will change their world, and they inspire us on that journey. I hope that what you will read will inspire you to join our community. 1 Oxbridge Education For The World MAGNA CARTA COLLEGE Magna Carta College, Oxford, is an independent business school founded by senior Oxbridge academics. 2 3 Magna Carta College, Oxford | Independent Business School The History of Magna Carta College MAGNA CARTA COLLEGE The inspiration for the name of the The college was founded in 2008 by college comes from the document Professor David Faulkner while Professor of Magna Carta, signed 15th June 1215, Strategy at Royal Holloway, University of which was the rst document to put London, which is located close by the site of into writing the principle that the king the signing of the Charter by King John and and his government was not above the the English Barons, at Runnymede.
