About this camp

The Future of Business Summer School is a two‑week residential programme for 16–18-year-olds who want to understand what is changing across industries and build the skills to help shape what comes next. You will explore how organisations make decisions when the stakes are high, and how strategy connects AI, innovation and finance to real‑world outcomes.

You will learn from University academics and expert contributors, collaborate with an international cohort, and develop a project that turns insight into a strong proposal you can explain and defend. The programme uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a guide to understanding how business creates value while responding to major global challenges, and includes Oxford traditions, cultural visits and social activities alongside teaching.
