# New University of Oxford Faculty of Law Program Coming to edX

#### The new program is the first to launch under an institution-wide agreement that will enable future partnerships with Oxford across schools and learning formats.

[University of Oxford’s Faculty of Law](https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/) is bringing a new online executive education program in legal and governance topics to edX. The first program, "Oxford Legal and Governance Foundations for Board Directors Programme," is part of the Faculty's Professional Development Programme and will launch on edX in early 2026.

The new program will be led by Professor John Armour, Dean of the Faculty of Law, who will serve as academic convenor. Designed for senior professionals seeking to join corporate boards, the program addresses the critical governance and legal expertise needed by directors in today's business environment.

"The Faculty of Law has a responsibility to share Oxford's world-leading legal research and expertise beyond our campus," said Professor Armour. “This partnership allows us to fulfill that mission by making our professional development programs accessible to legal and business leaders around the world who are navigating increasingly complex governance challenges."

The Faculty of Law launched its Professional Development Programme portfolio in May 2024, offering legal professionals opportunities to deepen their expertise through world-leading research and teaching. This new partnership extends that portfolio into online delivery for the first time, enabling the Faculty to reach a global audience of legal and business professionals.

"Our Professional Development Programme was designed to apply cutting-edge research from across the Faculty to the practical challenges facing legal professionals today," said Michael Leavey, Professional Development Programme Director at Oxford Faculty of Law. "Moving online enables us to extend this research-informed approach to a much wider community of practitioners who can benefit from Oxford's distinctive combination of academic rigor and real-world application."

Today's announcement marks a significant expansion of the University of Oxford’s presence on edX, building on successful collaborations with the Blavatnik School of Government and [Saïd Business School](https://2u.com/newsroom/2u-and-oxford-business-school-expand-partnership-with-launch-of-new-executive-ai-programme-and-first-ever-open-courses-on-edx/), which recently celebrated a major milestone, surpassing [50,000 elumni](https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/alumni/elumni-community) of its online programs. Oxford's partnership now encompasses over 40 programs available on edX, spanning executive education and open courses in high-demand topics such as AI, leadership, strategic project management, and corporate sustainability.

"Oxford consistently delivers some of the most impactful education available across disciplines," said Andy Morgan, Chief Partnerships Officer at 2U, the company behind edX. "We're proud to expand our partnership to include the Faculty of Law, one of the world's most prestigious legal institutions, and to support leading universities like Oxford in strategically scaling their reach to meet the evolving needs of professionals worldwide."
