A top tier business school, Saïd has done an excellent job channeling the academic excellence of…read morethe University of Oxford into its business education. With a strong center for social entrepreneurship, access to Oxford scholars, and the history of Oxford University, Saïd has developed a unique mix. The MBA program is relatively young, compared to other top tier peers, but the specific programs repackage educational practices rooted in a long tradition of innovation and effectiveness. Oxford institutions, such as double blind marking, meld nicely with MBA standards like study groups and practical applications of learning. In full disclosure, I say this as someone who chose to study here, but these are the confirmations of my reasoning during the application process. Oxford is an amazing place, the program allows for extraordinary exposure to global business and varied cultures, and the brand is portable to any variety of things you may choose to use it for (management consulting, entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, academic pursuits, what have you.)

I was very impressed with the amenities of Said Business School on a recent work visit. Spotlessly…read moreclean and practically impressive it's not an ostentatious place but is much more inviting than being merely functional. The lecture theatres are spacious and inviting (if confusingly identical) with handy power sockets under every desk for laptops, the cafeteria is very pleasant and there is even a gravelled garden in the centre of the building to use in the warmer weather. A friendly, non-stuffy work environment.

From the off Marco built my confidence, which had been knocked by my previous fails. He was methodical and professional in his approach, but more than this he was fun and a pleasure to drive with. He not only achieved what I believed to be the impossible (getting me to pass with NO minors) but also really made me enjoy driving. And if the result doesn't speak enough for its self I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wishes not only to pass their test but wants to feel a confident and safe driver after doing so.

Learning to drive is such a vital thing to get right and will last you all your life, and if you learn well, you'll learn faster, so it will cost less in the end anyway.

I can not rate BSM enough…read more Everyone told me they were money grabbing and too expensive, but I found them to teach me the skills that I would need when I passed, in a quick an efficient was and they were really friendly. For example, my friends were all taught how to pass the test, once they passed there were a lot of things they didn't know how to do. My instructor taught me how to drive and taught me things I didn't need to do on my test, but which helped me out after passing. For example she took me to the petrol station and showed me how to fill up little things like that were nice. I passed with flying colours and really quickly as well. Money well spent.
