About Programme

In an era of relentless disruption and complexity, the ability to navigate change is no longer optional – it is a strategic necessity.

Delivered in partnership with HEC Paris, the Executive MSc in Change Leadership equips leaders, change makers and consultants with the practical frameworks and advanced expertise to drive meaningful transformation.

Drawing on the strengths of two world-leading business schools, this programme goes beyond traditional change management, integrating the latest insights from social science research, industry guest speakers and hands-on methodologies to create a multi-layered learning experience. You will explore the human dimensions of change, group dynamics and systemic challenges, developing ‘change storytelling’ techniques that inspire and mobilise people through complex transformations.

Designed for busy professionals, the programme blends immersive, in-person modules in Oxford and Paris with online learning, ensuring maximum impact with minimal travel.

Upon completion, you’ll gain lifelong access to three prestigious alumni networks:

Oxford Business Alumni Network
HEC Paris Alumni Network
And the exclusive Change Leaders alumni community
