Robert Gordon University’s (RGU) MBA has been ranked as one of the top courses in Europe.
QS Top MBA conducts one the world’s largest annual surveys of MBA employers to discover which business schools MBA programmes they believe are best and RGU’s Aberdeen Business School ranked 34th in Europe.
Allan Scott, MBA Director at RGU’s Aberdeen Business School, said: “We strive to offer one of the best MBA programmes. Our goal on the MBA is to help students realise their aspiration, build career capital and to be a positive force for society and the industries we serve. We do this by providing an education grounded in practice, building competencies and behaviours, and having industry play a leading role in the degree.
“The MBA programme is accredited by AMBA, the premier MBA industry body, and this assures the degree is of direct relevance to the real world of business as well as meeting the highest international standards.
“There is no doubt we have excellent students studying different learning modes from across the global. We have over 40 companies directly involved with the degree and help hundreds more each year. We work hard to ensure our degree is industry ready and this is recognised by employers and in the QS rankings.”
For the 2014/15 report, QS adopted a new methodology. The employability measure counted towards 85% of the final ranking and a second measure – academic reputation – contributed 15% towards the final ranking. Aberdeen Business School is one of the leading providers of management and professional education in Scotland, and is nationally and internationally recognised for its corporate and management education. Its reputation for delivering courses specific to industry that relate to real life working environments precedes it.
It offers an MBA programme which consists of Master of Business Administration, MBA Oil and Gas Management and MBA Information Management and maintains a truly global perspective.
RGU’s MBA programme is designed with students’ aspirations and industry demand in mind and focuses on academic underpinning and ethical practice, behavioural skills, career mentoring, personal development and industry engagement through guest lectures, projects and networking events. The university has over 1500 MBA alumni and more than 300 students currently studying on the programme.
Courses are delivered through flexible study options of full-time, part-time and distance learning, with students from as far afield as Alaska and New Zealand to London and Glasgow having undertaken and completed an MBA through RGU via online distance learning.
