What Students Say

Not sure whether studying with us is right for you?

Read what some of our graduates had to say about studying with us….

“OMBS was a fantastic alternative to university. The skills I learnt are invaluable to my job now and have allowed me to go above and beyond my role and really accelerate my career. My IT knowledge is known in the office, and the marketing and business lessons we had have given me heaps of confidence in a work environment. I moved straight to London and now work as an Executive Assistant at an investment banking company in the City. I support a senior VP and have been able to get involved in a wide range of projects ranging from events to digital marketing and analytics, as well as budgeting and accounting..”

“OMBS was recommended to me after I realised that uni wasn’t for me. I loved the sound of a course that would give me the skills I would need in a workplace whilst also having the ‘uni experience’ of living in Oxford. The course completely outdid my expectations. The extensive IT and office skills I now have as well as my understanding of how the business world works means that I stand out against candidates who have just academic qualifications.

Practice interviews and chats with recruitment companies during the course meant that although I was nervous when interviewing for my first job, I knew what to expect and had some answers up my sleeve. Currently I am working for a startup internet company as a Team Assistant for an office of 15, where I use the majority of the skills I learnt at OMBS every day…”

“I had heard about Oxford Media & Business School from a friend and I decided to look into it. The Professional Business Diploma is highly regarded by a wide variety of employers and, having looked at the course content, I realised that this was the perfect alternative to university and would give me the skills I would need to follow the career path I wanted to take…”

“I originally had a place at Oxford Brookes University to study Anthropology, however during my gap year, I realised that I was picking the course for the sake of going to university. After doing some work, it was evident that I wanted to get into the working world as soon as possible, rather than studying for three more years…”

“After some research into alternatives to university, I came across the Professional Business Diploma course at Oxford Media & Business School. This course was exactly what I was looking for and so I made the conscious decision to withdraw my university offer. The course has given me the opportunity to spend a year in Oxford as a student, whilst assisting me in developing my business and IT skills. It has been a fantastic course and I know the transferable skills I have learnt will be extremely useful in any job I go into…”
