Aston Business School named as leading business institution

The Economist’s Which MBA Ranking 2009 has once again named the MBA programme at Aston Business School in Birmingham as one of the best in the world.

According to the newly-released ranking, Aston’s MBA is 67th in the world, ahead of prestigious institutions such as Imperial College Business School. The Economist also ranks Aston Business School 12th in the UK, up one place from last year, and 2nd in the Midlands.

Dr Brigitte Nicoulaud, Director of the MBA Programme, says, ‘We are delighted to consolidate our position in the World Top 100, and in the leading group of MBA programmes in the UK. Our MBA is proving to be a huge asset for our students. We have particular strengths in innovation, leadership and strategy – vital tools in a tough economic climate. Our students, and the companies they work for, reap the benefits of the expertise they acquire on the programme.’

Aston Business School performed particularly strongly in three key areas. It came 8th in the world for student diversity, 13th for average number of years work experience, and 24th for student rating of careers service.
