The Blavatnik School of Government is a school of public policy founded in 2010 at the University of Oxford in England.[1][2][3] The School was founded following a £75 million donation from Leonard Blavatnik, supported by £26 million from the University of Oxford.[4] It is part of Oxford's Social Sciences Division.

Courses

The Blavatnik School of Government admitted its first students in 2012.[5] The School offers a Master of Public Policy (MPP), an intensive one-year graduate degree which seeks to prepare students for a career in public service.[6] The School also offers a DPhil in Public Policy (a three-year full-time research degree). Applications are made through University of Oxford’s central Graduate Admissions and Funding Office.[7]

A range of short courses is also offered for senior professionals and practitioners on specific policy challenges.[8]

Academic staff

Professor Ngaire Woods is the first Dean of the School.[9] Members of faculty include development economists Sir Paul Collier, who is Professor of Economics and Public Policy,[10] Stefan Dercon, who is Professor of Economic Policy, Karthik Ramanna, who is Professor of Business and Public Policy,[11] and Jonathan Wolff, who is Professor of Public Policy.[12]

Controversy over Trump support of Leonard Blavatnik

In August 2017 Bo Rothstein resigned his position as Professor of Government and Public Policy in protest at Leonard Blavatnik's support for Donald Trump's Inaugural Committee.[13] Rothstein subsequently criticised the School, stating that he had been "excommunicated" and banned from accessing the building; the School and the University of Oxford denied these claims.[14]

Alumni

Alumni include the youngest mayor in Germany, Marian Schreier;[15] Rafat Al-Akhali, a former minister of youth and sports in Yemen;[16] and Shamma Al Mazrui, the youngest Minister of Youth Affairs in the United Arab Emirates.[17]

Building

The Blavatnik School of Government is located in the University of Oxford's Radcliffe Observatory Quarter on Woodstock Road, however its main entrance is on Walton Street.[18] The building is designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron to promote open discussion, interaction and collaboration.[19] The central forum is inspired by the idea of openness and transparency and connects all the floors together.[20] Construction work started in autumn 2013, after some controversy,[21] and ended in late 2015. The building is controlled by a combination of systems and technology that helps minimise its environmental impact.[22]

The building is taller than Carfax Tower in the centre of Oxford, thus dominating the site[23] and causing opposition to the scheme by local residents in the Jericho district of the city and elsewhere.[21][24] The site is immediately to the south of the café/bar Freud, in the historic 1836 Greek revival St Paul's Church on Walton Street.[25] The scheme was opposed by the cafe's owner, David Freud, due to its size compared to the church building. The site is also opposite the classical Oxford University Press building. In spring 2013, a public meeting was held in St Barnabas Church and the building was described as "a concrete marshmallow".[26] A historic wall on Walton Street would be demolished as part of the plans.[25]

Later in 2015, the building was described as "the latest striking building nearing completion in Oxford".[27]

In June 2016, the building received a RIBA National Award.[28] The building was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize for excellence in architecture (July 2016)[29] and was awarded the Oxford Preservation Trust plaque in the 'new buildings' category (November 2016).[30]
