What is the Oxford 1+1 Programme?

The Oxford 1+1 Programme enables students to combine an MSc in a variety of subjects with an Oxford MBA. We are happy to announce that from 2025 entry students applying to the MSc in Statistical Science will be able to apply for this programme.

The pervasive nature of AI and the ever-growing need for data-informed decision making across business, society and policy means that leadership roles require a thorough understanding of the strengths and limitations of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and data analysis in general.

Pairing our MSc with the MBA will enable you to combine a strong background in statistics and statistical machine learning, which forms the foundation of AI methods, along with fundamental skills in business and entrepreneurship preparing you to be leaders in today’s, data-centric, business environment.

We expect graduates of this programme to be at the forefront of the digital transformation taking place across all aspects of business and society as a whole.

How to apply

Successful candidates for the Oxford 1+1 Programme will need to meet the admissions requirements for both courses and be admitted separately to both courses. You must make two separate applications, one to the Department of Statistics, and one to the Said Business School.
