About Organization
The central University is made up of many different sections, including academic and administrative departments, libraries and museums.There are roughly major academic departments, which are overseen by the four academic divisions: Medical Sciences; Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences; Humanities and Social Sciences.
Each department organises teaching and research in a different subject area, from Anthropology to Zoology. There are also many smaller, specialist research centres and sub-departments.
The Department for Continuing Education offers part-time, flexible courses and programmes for adult learners. It offers more than 1,000 courses each year, including weekly classes, online courses, day, weekend and summer schools, undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications, and continuing professional development courses.
There are 39 Oxford colleges, which are financially independent and self-governing, but relate to the central University in a kind of federal system. There are also six permanent private halls, which are similar to colleges except that they tend to be smaller, and were founded by particular Christian denominations.
The colleges and halls are close academic communities, which bring together students and researchers from different disciplines, cultures and countries. This helps to foster the outstanding research achievement that has made Oxford a leader in so many fields.
Job Description
The basic aim of business development executives, also known as business development representatives, is to increase the amount of revenue a business gains by generating more leads.
This role differs from that of an account executive due to the emphasis on new clients: a business development executive is more likely to be employed by a company looking to expand its client base, perhaps by breaking out into new sectors or using new methods of reaching and communicating with potential leads. So, creative and strategic thinking is likely to be essential.
