The UK No.1 and world No.2 in new Financial Times ranking
The Financial Times has published (9 March 2014) its inaugural Online MBA ranking, which ranks MBA programmes delivered by online and distance learning. Warwick Business School is ranked second in the world and top in the UK.
The ranking process involved surveying schools and their MBA graduates from three years ago, measuring four areas of activity:
Career progress - WBS is top in the UK for careers service
Programme diversity – WBS has the most international faculty
Idea generation – WBS comes top in the world for the quality of faculty and for its doctoral programme, and top in the UK for quality of research
Online delivery – WBS is joint top in the UK.
Previous success
Already this year WBS has improved or equalled its rating in two other global rankings:
- Rising to 25th in the world in the Financial Times Global (full-time) MBA ranking
- Retaining 2nd in the world and 1st in the UK by QS-TopMBA.
Dean of WBS Professor Mark Taylor commented:
We recognise that reputation matters, and rankings contribute to our reputation. We relentlessly pursue excellence in both teaching and research, and it is this effort, together with the successes of our talented and ambitious graduates, that is reflected in our strong performance in the rankings.”
