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.
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.

After which The Oxford Exchange managed the second half of the course at Brasenose College, Oxford. Dr Bezjian spearheaded the exploration of elevating the top papers written for The Oxford Exchange for publication in academic journals.
Dr Bezjian and other staff members advised Cadet Charles Keller II on how to prepare his paper for an academic journal, which required many revisions under the tutelage of The Oxford Exchange. We are keen to tutor each of our students to reach their full potential and to master the art of conducting research and writing academically to the standards of Oxford University and Cambridge University.
