Programmes ranked in Economist and Financial Times

Strathclyde Business School has been ranked highly in two prestigious rankings this month. First of all The Economist has ranked Strathclyde Business School's MBA programme 40th in the world in its top 100 ranking of global MBA programmes.

This position places the Strathclyde MBA in the top 10 in Europe and 4th in the UK in The Economist's Which MBA?

The Economist ranking is considered one of the most influential and student-centric in the industry. To qualify for inclusion, the schools with full-time MBA programmes that respond to the survey had to meet various thresholds of data provision, as well as attaining a minimum number of responses to a survey of four categories: opening new career opportunities (35%); personal development/educational experience (35%); increasing salary (20%); and the potential to network (10%).

The full ranking can be viewed on the Economist pages.

Strathclyde's executive MBA programme has been ranked in the Financial Times' top 100 of such programmes in the world.

Our executive MBA programme – offered via part-time study in the UK and around the world at our nine international centres – was ranked 58th globally.

Strathclyde's MBA ranks in the top 10 of UK-based business schools ranked in the top 100. The rankings are based on various measures, some of which (including career progression, how the programme lived up to expectations, percentage salary increase) come from a poll of alumni three years after graduation.

The full ranking can be seen on the Financial Times pages.
