The University of Oxford's Saïd Business School has been under scrutiny for its questionable practices and questionable reputation. While some students praise it, others have a different view. The school's origin story is dubious, with concerns raised about its naming after Wafic Saïd, who was involved in the al-Yamamah arms deal. Despite these issues, the school offers an MBA program that promises to make students fully-fledged Oxford University students. However, the program's eligibility criteria seem to be more about having the financial means to pay the hefty fee of £88,800. The school claims to create a diverse community, but complaints arise about students struggling with the English language, leading to concerns about the quality of education. The school's online programs, which are CPD-certified and cryptographically verifiable, are also questionable, with some questioning the value of the 'Oxford credential' and the overall experience. The school's location and interior design also raise questions about its authenticity. The article concludes by questioning the sustainability of such business schools in the face of funding crises and the need for universities to adapt to changing financial realities.
