About Programme

The Oxford Generative and Agentic AI Programme offers practical, hands-on learning in generative and agentic AI, with guidance on evaluating and using these tools safely and effectively.

This short online programme cuts through the noise surrounding generative and agentic AI. Built for busy decision-makers, it blends Oxford’s academic depth with hands-on demonstrations to show where these technologies genuinely add value and where their limits lie. You will explore how AI models and agents work, compare platforms, and learn how to move from concept to pilot.

Across three intensive modules, you will examine realistic use cases, build a simple agent on an existing platform and learn to use a governance checklist for internal or client review.

Led by Professor Mike Wooldridge , Ashall Professor of the Foundations of AI at Oxford University and a pioneer in multi-agent systems, and Professor Matthias Holweg , American Standard Companies Professor of Operations Management, a leading expert in digital operations and AI governance and Director of the Oxford Artificial Intelligence Programme , the programme offers practical, tool-agnostic insights that help you make credible decisions and accelerate responsible AI adoption.

The orientation module will prepare you for the rest of the programme and will:

Agentic AI is moving fast. Leaders need to understand the premises this powerful technology is built on, to make the right choices where it can add value, and how to govern it. This programme gives you the foundations and confidence to do exactly that.
