UK MBA Ranking

Ranking of UK MBA programs has been carried out by a number of organisations. The FT publishes a UK MBA ranking as part of its research into global MBA programs and in 2000 we carried out our own research into the top UK MBA schools. The following table combines the FT research with our own and includes links to the top programs.

Our own research, while broadly similar to the FT, gave slightly different results UK MBA RANKING. The report on our research, including comments on the FT results is also available UK MBA RANKING REPORT. These results also exclude those for Bristol University (ranked 14th in our research). Bristol has transfered its MBA to Edinburgh University Business School. The links on this page point to both the MBA programmes and other masters and doctorate level courses.
