Like any other top-tier MBA program, Oxford provides many opportunities for interested MBAs to become involved in student clubs. Every year the Oxford Business Alumni (OBA) recognizes 5 core "Oxford Business Networks (OBN)," including Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management Consulting, Private Equity, and Social Entrepreneurship. Beyond this "core" group many other non-permanent OBNs and "Student Interest Groups (SIGs)" are supported depending on the inclination of the students.Current OBNs and SIGs include Real Estate, Technology, Leadership, and Women in Business - just to name a few. In many ways these groups operate much like traditional MBA student clubs, however, the difference is that while run by students they are expressly operated in a way as to link current students with alumni and practitioners in the field. It provides a nice "bridge" for students as they transition back into the work world, and also provides a mechanism to keep alumni involved.
For example, when I was elected as President of the core Finance OBN, I was elected to a 2-year term. Since the Oxford MBA only lasts 1-year this obviously means that I am "contracted" to stay on and support the next year's class as an alumni.
