LMH’s Nathaniel Read (2023, Classics) has launched The Radcliffe, Oxford’s first and only business magazine for students.
The careers-focused publication covers sectors including energy and law through opinion pieces, Q&As, investigations and book reviews. It published a pilot edition in Hilary Term, produced by a 20-strong student team, and is supported financially by companies looking to connect with Oxford students and future graduates.
Nathaniel was inspired to launch The Radcliffe after spending time on the business section of The Oxford Review of Books, an experience that gave him insight into both media and business. He said the magazine aims to fill a gap for students interested in the business world, particularly at a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping the jobs market.
“I feel like there was, and still is, room to help students learn about the business world, especially as artificial intelligence is changing it so much at the moment,” he said, “lots of people have got in touch telling me how useful they found it, especially given the current job market.”
The first edition of The Radcliffe features interviews with Luke Johnson, Magdalen College alumnus and owner of Gail’s, as well as Rory Sutherland, advertising guru and TED Global speaker, alongside other content on consultancy, finance, AI and Oxford itself.
The magazine is not only for students interested in business, but also for those looking to understand how different sectors connect, with wider questions about careers, culture, and the economy.
Looking ahead, Nathaniel hopes The Radcliffe will grow beyond its pilot edition into a long-term student media and events platform in Oxford, eventually becoming a staple like Oxford’s other prominent magazines and newspapers. He hopes the magazine will “leave some sort of mark on Oxford.”
The Radcliffe is available in print and online, with more articles published on its website. Nathaniel also plans to expand the publication into events, starting in October.
