About this course

The Oxford AI-Driven Business Transformation Executive Programme combines content from three leading online programmes from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, equipping leaders with the insight and tools to harness the power of AI, drive innovation and shape forward-thinking strategies.

Through hands-on exercises, participants will explore the transformative potential of AI via a natural progression. The programme covers common use cases and real-world applications, as well as how to strategically scale adoption and implementation across organisations. Participants will complete a capstone project, informed by the Oxford view of strategy, that serves as a practical framework for their organisation. This framework will demonstrate their ability to create roadmaps, deploy workflows and develop processes that can reshape traditional business models and generate meaningful value and ROI from AI.

Generating value from AI requires a complete organisational transformation, starting with top-down governance and guidance to successfully inspire, align and implement change across departments. Seasoned executives who play a leading role in their organisation’s AI strategy will immensely benefit from the programme’s academic approach to research theory and application, as well as the opportunity to network with like-minded colleagues and build lasting professional relationships. Experienced technical professionals (CIOs, IT managers, business analysts) who are responsible for selecting and implementing new technologies across their organisations will also benefit from the programme.

About this course

While algorithmic trading has been around for a long time, the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has substantially accelerated its course of development. This allows trading algorithms to find market efficiencies and better recognize profitable patterns of their own accord, making trades at a very high frequency. The performance of these algorithms, therefore, often exceeds those of professional traders and financial advisers.

The Oxford Algorithmic Trading Programme from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, equips you with a comprehensive understanding of the rules that drive successful algorithmic trading strategies and hedge funds, as well as a grounded introduction to financial theory and behavioral finance. Over the course of six weeks, you’ll learn four principles established by Programme Director Nir Vulkan to guide you through the process of evaluating an algorithmic trading model. You’ll also discover what biases are present in the market and how these behavioral traits create exploitable patterns. On completion, you’ll have the ability to assess whether a trading model or fund is worth investing in.

This programme is aimed at working professionals in the trading and investment space or those not currently familiar with the algorithmic trading platform. It will be of value to anyone interested in hearing from industry leaders and top academics on the key issues facing algorithmic systematic traders. The programme will also interest professionals looking to learn about the predicted impact of AI and automation on the course of financial trading’s future. Private and part-time traders who wish to improve their trading abilities and experiment with algorithmic trading models will also benefit from the programme. This non-technical programme features optional activities for participants interested in engaging in the technical side of algorithmic trading by discovering how to build a model using Python. These activities are entirely voluntary and run through an integrated development environment. No extra software is required.
