The FINANCIAL — Manchester Business School is placed 29th in the world by The Financial Times in its ranking of the world’s leading business schools, published today (Monday 28 January).
This rise means that Manchester’s 18-month full-time MBA programme is now placed 11th in Europe / 10th EU and 5th in the UK, confirming its position as one of the world’s most rewarding programmes. For the third consecutive year The FT also rates Manchester’s Doctoral programme as number one in the world.
As Manchester Business School said, the rise in the rankings reflects the excellent salary progression Manchester Business School’s MBAs can achieve three years after completing the programme. According to The FT, they can expect a 111% salary increase and this is echoed in the School’s position as 3rd in the world for alumni achieving their aims.
Professor Michael Luger, Dean of Manchester Business School said: “We're immensely proud of our alumni who have achieved such outstanding career success since leaving us. In a tough economic climate investing in your career progression by taking one of the world’s best MBAs is a crucial decision and return on investment is key.
“Manchester’s programme stretches our MBAs – both intellectually and practically. We invest significantly in the amount of client contact our MBAs experience throughout the 18-month programme, which is designed to ensure the original thinking they learn is applied to solve business challenges in the real world. So it’s gratifying to see The Financial Times recognises that such an intellectually stimulating programme is financially rewarding too.”
