Manchester Business School improves in Forbes ranking Manchester Business School is celebrating a strong performance in the new Forbes guide to the world’s best business schools, published this week. The School was rated third among non-US schools and second in the UK for its full-time programme. The Forbes ranking looks at the “bang for your buck” of an MBA programme - how long it takes students to recoup their fees and the earnings lost while they study, and the scale of the increase in their salary. Professor Michael Luger, Director of Manchester Business School commented: “I’m pleased to see that we are getting this kind of recognition in such a highly regarded business publication. North America is an important market for MBAs and this kind of success helps to raise our profile. Our MBA offers students a truly global experience. We have students and lecturers from all over the world, and unrivalled international content in our programme - and it clearly delivers results for our alumni, as this survey shows.” Forbes Magazine conducts its ranking of business schools every two years, and divides its findings into US and non-US schools so Manchester Business School is represented in the non-US table of schools running two year programmes. (Its MBA programme is actually 18 months.) The survey is based primarily on the response of the School’s alumni from five years ago. This year’s position is an improvement on 2005, when the School was rated sixth among non-US business schools offering two-year programmes. History and Heritage
Founded in 1965, Manchester Business School quickly established itself as one of Europe's leading centres for management teaching and research. This reputation spread particularly quickly amongst employers, who preferred Manchester's practical approach to the more theoretical methods used by many universities.
The School's MBA programme reflected its philosophy of learning through the practical application of theoretical knowledge. This was as a result of excellent links with industry, and the consequent balance of classroom teaching with real consultancy in a business situation. This unique approach has become known as the Manchester Method', and it clearly distinguishes Manchester] Business School from other business schools - in terms of both curriculum and results.
The Manchester MBA is highly valued both by companies who recruit our graduates and by formal accrediting bodies. Indeed, in 1996, the Association of MBAs (AMBA) extended its accreditation of the Manchester MBA for a further seven years, the longest period allowed under its rule,' Two years earlier, the government funding body HEFCF, assessed the School's quality of teaching and learning and placed it in its highest category: excellent.
