About OUBEP

OUBEP equips future leaders with the economic thinking needed to understand the external contexts and choices facing business in the modern world.

CHAMPIONING NEW THINKING IN ECONOMICS SINCE 1952

OUBEP is committed to showcasing the latest data and research to help the next generation of business leaders develop new ideas that can overcome today’s economic challenges. We run a core summer programme, regular seminar series and also run tailored programmes for businesses.

Our core summer programme follows the ‘Oxford’ format for tuition  – timetabled lectures followed by small tutorial-group analysis and discussion. This immersive programme is the ideal way to explore cutting-edge research in real-world context.

In 2020, we launched a series of online seminars in response to the restrictions caused by the pandemic. These shorter sessions allow us to reach a wider audience and share our cutting-edge research as it is published and generate discussion on current events as they unfold.

We are now launching several tailored programmes covering topics that specifically align with the business objectives that our delegates and their organisations are prioritising.

A unique opportunity to reflect on the economic drivers – and business behaviours and strategies – that we all experience, but may not have had the opportunity to study in any depth, or with the benefit of expert tuition.
