The University of Oxford's Saïd Business School has faced scrutiny for its questionable practices and questionable reputation. While some students praise the school, others express concerns about the quality of teaching and the school's dubious origins. The school claims to be an integral part of Oxford University, offering an MBA program that can lead to full student status. However, many students complain that the language barrier is a significant issue, with some struggling to speak the language of instruction. The school's eligibility criteria appear to be more about having the financial means to pay the hefty tuition fees rather than academic merit. The school's online programs, which promise a 'rich, guided experience', have also raised concerns about their quality and authenticity. Despite the controversies, Oxford's financial desperation may be driving the school's success, as it offers a lucrative opportunity for the university to generate international fees. The question remains: is the Saïd Business School a legitimate educational institution or a mere sham?
