WBS third in the world
Latest press releasesWarwick Business School has achieved third place in the world, second in Europe, and first in the UK in the Economist Intelligence Unit's just-published ranking of distance learning MBA programmes.
Professor Howard Thomas, Dean of Warwick Business School said, "Our aim is to be the best European, University-based business school and this ranking shows that we are well on the way to this. Our students and our business partners benefit from the flexibility and relevance of our management courses, a fact that is demonstrated in this ranking."
Distance learning MBAs are becoming an increasingly important sector of business education, allowing students from around the world to earn degrees from top-quality schools without having to change jobs or move abroad. For these very reasons they are also becoming increasingly popular with employers.
However, Bill Ridgers, editor of Which MBA?, warns that studying for an MBA by distance learning is not for the faint-hearted: "Despite business schools making increasing efforts to involve students, the fact that students study on their own for much of the time - and that programmes can take three years or sometimes much longer to complete - means a lot of self-motivation is needed to get through it."
The top ten distance learning MBAs are:
1 University of Florida, Warrington College of Business (USA)
2 IE Business School (Spain)
3 Warwick Business School (UK)
4 Curtin University (Australia)
5 Audencia School of Management Nantes (France)
6 Henley Management College (UK)
7 Thunderbird School of Global Management (USA)
8 Manchester Business School (UK)
9 Open University (UK)
10 Bradford (UK)
