UK MBA rankings

In October - November 2000 we carried out a research project amongst recruiters (in house and agency) and MBA graduates and candidates. This resulted in the rankings of UK MBA schools which are listed below. While not specifically covered, ratings of part time MBAs mainly follow this ratings system. You can read a more detailed commentary on the MBA research - UK MBA RESEARCH REPORT.
The column FT rank gives the rank of the school in the FT 2001 research. This ranking applies to the UK only, ie LBS is the number one school in the UK, not internationally.
