MBS-Tongji-Manchester Double-degree MBA Program Partner rises to world 29 in The Financial Times Ranking
Fri, Feb 18, 2011
Internationalization is and has always been an important strategy and strength of SEM, Tongji. Double-degree MBA program between Tongji University and Manchester Business School was launched in 2009. Manchester’s 18-month full-time MBA programme is now placed 10th in Europe and 4th in the UK. Manchester Business School (MBS for short) is placed 29th in the world by The Financial Times in its ranking of the world’s leading business schools, published on 31st January, 2011.
The rise in the rankings reflects the excellent salary progression Manchester Business School’s MBAs can achieve three years after completing the programme. According to The FT, they can expect a 111% salary increase.
Professor Michael Luger, Dean of Manchester Business School said: “We’re immensely proud of our alumni who have achieved such outstanding career success since leaving us. In a harsh economic climate investing in your career progression by taking one of the world’s toughest MBAs is a crucial decision and return on investment is key.
The FT’s findings echo Bloomberg Business Week’s recent ranking of the world’s best business schools, in which MBS is rated third in the world for return on investment; as does Forbes which consistently highlights MBS’ excellent ROI.
The 2011 FT ranking also highlights Manchester’s continuing strengths which have been evident over several years:
· 13 in the world for career progression
· 14 in the world for international mobility
· 19 in the world for international experience
