The rankings for marketing masters are more difficult to establish than those for MBAs due
primarily to greater recognition of MBAs. Because of this we have presented the results of our
research by having a number of tiers or divisions where courses are considered as broadly equal
rather than the individual scores common in MBA tables. The results are skewed towards courses
which have a high reputation for post-experience courses rather than those which offer marketing
masters degrees for candidates who have recently left university or have only a few years experience.
This is particularly marked for Bristol Business School (UWE) who would appear in the top tier
if only courses for candidates with 0-3 years experience were considered. Results within
tiers are in alphabetical order only and not by individual scores.

* Bristol Business School (UWE) has a strong marketing MA, but both full time course (focussed on
very recent business graduates or career change candidates) and the part time course (focussed
on candidates with a few years experience) are geared to more junior candidates than the other
courses listed in the top rank.
There are a number of other business schools which offer masters degrees in marketing (or with a
very large marketing marketing component). At the moment we do not have enough information
to be able to rank these marketing programmes with any certainty, but we will update this
report as more information comes in.
