About 'The Oxford Exchange'
In 2001, The Oxford Exchange (OEX) was founded as a think tank specialising in foreign and home policy analysis, political campaigning, and international relations writ large. Our clients included world leaders, government institutions (NASA, US Department of Defense, British Parliament), and corporations seeking insight into global trends.
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, with the only criticism being that due to the COVID-19 policies, OEX had to deliver the course via Zoom.
The Oxford Exchange is based in the city of Oxford, England and offers short courses and seminars in various subjects to enhance lifelong learning.

Athena Scholars Programme
3 August - 16 August 2025
At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that an elite intensive residential experience (in addition to a student's regular year school work) is the key to unlocking your true potential. We designed this leadership programme for future female leaders in two sub-cohorts: age 16-18, and age 19-21.
Through classes, seminars and individual tutorials held in the magical university city of Oxford, England, you will learn from global university instructors, tutors, and mentors. The curriculum is designed to enhance each Athena Scholar's ability to research, write, debate, and present her ideas effectively and persuasively.
At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that everyone has the potential to learn and grow, regardless of his or her background or experience. We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive and achieve their goals.
