Nottingham University Business School has been ranked in the latest international league table of full-time Master of Business Administration programmes.
In rankings recently published by The Economist, Nottingham University Business School has been placed in the top 100 – against tough competition from the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The School appears on the list with some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including Dartmouth College, Harvard, Stanford and INSEAD business schools.
The Economist 2011 Top 100 MBA ranking rates business schools against each other in terms of:
- opening new career opportunities and/or furthering current career of graduates
- personal development
- increasing salary
- offering the potential to network
Professor Martin Binks, Dean of Nottingham University Business School, said: “We are delighted that our MBA programme has been ranked in the top 100 by The Economist, given the enormous level of global competition in this ranking. We believe it reflects the quality of our general MBA as well as the specialist MBAs we offer in Finance, Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Social Responsibility. Our MBA programme can also be taken in a very flexible, part-time Executive format, which includes many delegates from major businesses and organisations across the region.”
“This ranking surveys our full-time MBAs while they are at the Business School, so it is gratifying to see the benefits of our ongoing efforts to improve the overall experience we offer our MBA students. We continue to focus on the quality of the MBA programme, which is already endorsed by our AMBA and EQUIS accreditations.”
“This ranking is a testament to our success and the quality of the education we offer to our postgraduate students. Majority of our MBA graduates are in key management positions in leading organisations in Malaysia as well as in other countries,” said Professor Ian Pashby, CEO and Provost of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
The Economist ranking is distinctive for being the most "student-centric" of all the MBA rankings because it claims to measure the way business schools meet the demands that students have of an MBA programme.
To qualify for inclusion in The Economist ranking, the schools with full-time MBA programmes that responded to the survey had to meet various thresholds of data provision, as well as attaining a minimum number of responses to a survey gauging the opinion of current MBA students and alumni who graduated within the last three years. These were set as a proportion of the annual intake of students to the programme.
The findings are based on detailed questionnaires completed by business schools and around 20,000 current MBA students and graduates around the world.
