About 'The Oxford Exchange'
In 2021, The Oxford Exchange (OEX) was founded as a non profit education provider and think tank specialising in foreign and home policy analysis, political campaigning, and international relations writ large. Our clients included military institutions, colleges, military academies, and individual students who sought an "Oxford experience."
In 2021, the United States Air Force requested bespoke policy and area studies courses for USAF Officers and Senior NCO's who were stationed in Europe. We hired top university professors in the UK, secured VIP Guest speakers like General David Petraeus, and delivered a week-long online course to RAF Mildenhall during the pandemic. Our first course was rated 98.5 out of 100 by the 40 participants.
The Oxford Exchange is based in the city of Oxford, England and offers short residential courses and seminars in various subjects at an Oxford college to enhance lifelong learning.
